Enhance your organic herb garden with Forest Green parsley from West Coast Seeds. This 2g pack produces plants with short, strong stems that support clusters of highly curled, dark-green leaves. The flavor is distinctly savory without being bitter, making it perfect for a variety of Mediterranean dishes. Forest Green parsley is also excellent for companion planting, as its strong scent repels pests like the asparagus beetle and attracts beneficial insects such as hoverflies and predatory wasps.
Key Features:
- Non-Bitter Flavor: Distinctly savory, perfect for cooking.
- Highly Curled Leaves: Dark-green and abundant.
- Attracts Beneficial Insects: Supports a healthy garden ecosystem.
- Open-Pollinated Seeds: Reliable and easy to grow.
- Matures in 80 Days: Quick and productive harvest.
Growing Instructions:
- Difficulty: Easy
- Season: Cool season
- Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
- Zone: Hardy to Zone 6
- Starting: If starting indoors, sow seeds 1cm (½”) deep in sterilized seed starting mix, using peat pots or plug trays. Outdoors, sow in drills 3cm (1¼”) deep, spaced 8cm (3") apart. Thin final plants to 15cm (6") apart.
Growing Conditions:
- Soil Preparation: Grow in a deeply dug bed with generous amounts of rotted manure or compost added several weeks in advance.
- Summer Crops: Provide some shade during the day by planting on the east or west side of a structure or fence.
- Winter Crops: Start seeds in late summer and transplant to a warm, sunny location by September. Parsley will grow all winter in mild areas with cloche protection.
Harvesting:
Cut individual sprigs from the outside of the plant or the whole plant as needed. Dry sprigs in a food dehydrator or freeze in ice cube trays to keep fresh for months.
Companion Planting:
Parsley pairs well with asparagus, carrots, chives, corn, onions, and tomatoes. It can repel asparagus beetles and enhance the scent of roses. Avoid planting near mint to prevent competition for nutrients.
Grow your own Forest Green parsley with West Coast Seeds and enjoy its rich flavor and versatility in your kitchen. Perfect for gardeners of all levels, this parsley is a delicious and practical addition to your garden.
