Petroselinum crispum (75 days) Open-pollinated. “Krausa parsley gave us another stellar performance last year,” reported Bryan O’Hara in CT. “Great flavor, too,” added Evelyn Durand of Marysville, CA. Stems so sweet they taste almost like a miniature celery: thick, solid, crunchy, yummy. Dense triple-curled medium-green parsley holds its color without developing white or brown spots. Taller, thicker stems than Double Curled. “Never before had a parsley with such delicious stems,” raves trialer Donna Dyrek. Can stand the heat yet still be beautiful and juicy in October. Cold-hardy.

Additional Information
Parsley
About 11,000 seed/oz.
Hardy annual in the North. A shining star of Jason Kafka’s wholesale program. He grows Double Curled, Krausa, and Plain Leaf, moving a few hundred bunches per week and says that if you have the market, these may bring more money per row foot than any other crop. When these hardy biennials bolt, he gets a bonus by using the umbels as filler for flower bouquets.
Culture: Very hardy. Parsley seed is short-lived; test old seed before sowing. Very slow to germinate (up to 30 days). Minimum germination temperature 40°, optimal range 50–80°. Soaking seed 8–12 hours will hasten germination. Do not allow soil surface to dry out.
