Parsley Seeds

Parsley is one of the most useful herbs in the kitchen and one of the slowest to sprout. Soak the seed overnight and expect two to four weeks before you see seedlings. Flat-leaf types like Giant of Italy and Darki Green have the richest flavor. Curled types such as Katinka are the classic garnish and hold up well in the cooler. Arat is a root parsley, grown for its parsnip-like root. Parsley is a biennial, so plants keep producing well into winter in mild areas.
