      Wait what? Clovers are a species of Trifolium in the Fabaceae (legume family), but sorrel refers to the leaves of Rumex species in the Polygonaceae. What are you referring to?

      Sorrel is not clovers. Sorrel are commonly used in cooking here in Europe while clovers, not so much. That being said, both are hardy and easy to cultivate.
