Herbs, Parsley Curly Leafed ‘Starlett’ (Petroselinum crispum)

A terrific moss leaved, curly parsley, neat and dwarf enough to grow in a pot and vigorous enough for the garden. Quick to mature ‘Starlett’ has dark green densely filled foliage on strong stems. I plant seed for this parsley on bottom heat early in the spring and outside in the garden after mid-November. Germination is up to a month so be patient. All parsley varieties will sometime bolt if seed is planted in soil which is too cold.

When to sow: Late winter to early autumn
Where to sow: In pots or direct sow
Depth to sow: 5mm
Aspect:  Full sun or as sunny a spot as possible.
Soil:  Prepared, well drained, fertilised soil. Add lime if soil is too acid.
Spacing: Between plants: 30cm Between rows: 30cm

Directions:  For early plantings sow seed on bottom heat and plant our when big enough. Plant seed straight into a prepared garden bed from November until autumn. Parsley can bolt if seed is planted in soil which is too cold.
