100 Seeds Pale Dock Rumex altissimus Heirloom Native Wildflower

Pale Dock is a native perennial wildflower valued for its tall, reddish-green stems and broad, lance-shaped leaves that add strong vertical texture to naturalistic plantings. It is an heirloom species well suited to meadows, pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and restoration-style landscapes where durable, low-maintenance native plants are desired.

The leaves are mild and can be used in salads or cooked as a green when young and tender. Pale Dock grows upright and clump-forming, producing dense seed heads that persist into cooler months and provide visual interest in borders and wildflower areas. It is adaptable and dependable in moist to average soils and works well as a background plant or in mass plantings.
