NIKA SEEDS - Herb Flat-Leaf Italian Parsley Green - 2000 Seeds

FLAT-LEAF ITALIAN PARSLEY  A mid-season variety (65 to 75 days). The first time cut the leaves when they are 6 to 8" tall. Then cut every 30 to 35 days as soon as the leaves have reached the former dimensions. Sow directly in open ground in spring and fall.    Planting instructions:   Grow plants in full sun to partial shade. Before planting, work the soil to a foot deep, removing rocks, sticks and debris. If the soil is hard, add ample amounts of loam, compost, or peat moss. This will allow the roots to grow down into the soil, unimpeded. Soil should be rich, and well drained. Keep soil moist, not wet. Dry soils will cause the roots to fork and split. Add a general purpose fertilizer once a month during the growing season. Thin plants to 6 inches apart. Keep plants well weeded, especially while they are young. Begin to use roots when they are 5-6 inches long. The leaves can be harvested and used the same way as  regular parsley (the herb). Roots can be stored in the ground, or in a cool/cold shed, often into early winter in most areas.
