It's extremely easy to grow, and one of the earliest crops of the year: I've been picking the lemony leaves for a few weeks now

It's like horseradish and comfrey. Once you have it, you will always have it! But it does need water. In our extremely hot climate Down Under if we don't keep the water up to it, it goes into hibernation. But, I wouldn't think the watering issue is a problem for most parts of the UK!

No, it's not.
My sorrel is in free-draining sandy soil, and I never water it.

But, given our ongoing drought I think your sorrel plants get a lot more rain than ours! Most parts of the world get more rain than we do. We are known as the driest continent on earth.

Yes you are, which is why I added my post saying you don't need to water sorrel in the UK.
