The root is the most potent part of the plant, though you can eat the baby leaves as you would eat spinach. The leaves are packed with iron increasing goodness! Also known as yellow dock, narrow dock, & curly leaf dock. Curly Dock grows in a wide variety of habitats, including disturbed soil, waste areas, roadsides, fields/meadows, shorelines, & forest edges. It is widely naturalized throughout the temperate world & has become a serious invasive species in many areas, including throughout North America, southern South America, New Zealand & parts of Australia. It is very cold hardy, & can be grown as an annual or a perennial. Seed germination: Yellow Dock requires natures natural seasonal cycles to germinate, so planting in Fall is best. This way the seeds will go through a long cold-moist period to break the seed dormancy. To simulate this out of season, place in the fridge in a decently moist (not soaking wet) medium like soil or sand for at least four weeks before setting out in warm weather to germinate. Once established, yellow dock likes moist garden soil like most other vegetables do. They are also excellent at busting through tough clay soils. They produce large tops & deep roots, like most Docks do. The common name yellow dock has been used to refer to three different medicinal plants that are used interchangeably. in medicinal herb books it primarily refers to curly dock (Rumex crispus), but it sometimes refers to bitter or broad-leaved dock (R. obtusifolius) & acute dock (R. x acutus). The latter was once thought to be a distinct species but is now recognized as a hybrid between the first two species that sometimes occurs where their ranges overlap. These species are all called yellow dock because of the yellowish color of their roots. Traditionally they were believed to have almost identical therapeutic actions, which is not surprising for plants that are so closely related that they can readily hybridize. However, curly dock is usually used more by herbalists. Free shipping on all seeds.
