Worth knowing:
Moss Curled Parsley is a biennial cultivated plant. With ideal local conditions it can also be perennial, but in that case it can’t be used as a spice plant anymore since after blooming the second year it will develop only few leaves that also contain too much toxic apiol. Moss Curled Parsley is an ingredient for the famous German Green Sauce.
Natural Location:
Growing wild, Parsley originated in the Mediterranean region.
Cultivation:
Propagation is ideally done starting from February at a sunny place indoors. Water the hard seeds for about 24 hours with lukewarm water to stimulate germination. Place the seeds 1-2 cm deep into moist coconut substrate or organic herb substrate.
Place:
The plant needs the sun, warmth and a wind-sheltered place to produce its full aroma.
Care:
Keep the soil always moist, but not wet. Water your plant as soon as the top layer of the earth has dried out. Fertilize the plant either very modest with compost or organic fertilizer for herbs, or don’t fertilize at all.
During the winter:
Even though Parsley is a biennial plant, its leaves are much more aromatic in the first year. Therefore, we recommend to sow new seeds every year.
