Organic Parsley 'Plain leaved' seed (Petroselinum crispum)

Growing schedule: Sow under cover from March or outside from April to mid-July. Plants sown in June and July will provide a winter and spring crop - and they will flower the following summer. Late sowings in August in the polytunnel will be slow to develop but can provide a good crop the following year.

Sowing depth: 1 - 2cm

Germination: Parsley tends to have a low germination rate and can be slow to germinate. Seeds will germinate between 5-32°C but higher temperatures (ideally 21-27°C) will improve and speed up germination.

Planting distance: 30 x 20 cm

Growing conditions: Parsley grows best with full sun to partial shade in moist, rich, deep, well-drained soil.

Harvest: Leaves and stems can be harvested over time and the plant will continue to grow back vigorously.

Number of seeds: Each packet contains approximately 500 seeds, enough to cover 4m².
