Has anyone had problems growing sorrel in the shade or partial shade?

Latin would help here, are we talking Oxalis or Rumex?

Assuming we're talking Rumex acetosa (Garden Sorrel), in which case part shade can work fine, but not full shade, in my experience. I don't have as much experience with Rumex scatatus (French Sorrel), but I'd imagine it's similar.

Have seen garden sorrel going right to town in part-day shade.

My lady makes a Cream of Sorrel soup that is absolutely one of the finest soups I've ever had. So tangy and delicious. I'm growing it myself just for that soup.

Huh. Really? Chicken stock base with a roux?

How lousy of me to brag and then not post it... I'll get it from her and link it up here.
