Arat Root Parsley Seed

Item #HSC-PAR-001-PKT

Parsley flavor all winter, from the root.

Arat grows long, straight white roots, about 5–8" long, that bring fresh parsley flavor to winter soups, stews and salads. They keep for several months in cool storage.

Once roots are established, the tops can be cooked too; they taste stronger and are tougher than leaf parsley.

Ready about 75 days from sowing. Open-pollinated.

Growing Information

Scientific name

Petroselinum crispum

Sowing

Once hard frosts are over in early to mid-spring, sow a seed or two per inch, 1/4–1/2" deep, either in single rows or in bands 2–3" wide, with 12–18" between rows.

Germination

Slow: 14–30 days. Keep the surface moist the whole time.

Thinning

Leave 1–3" between plants; wider gives bigger roots. Hoe shallowly and often to keep weeds down.

Soil

Deep, moist, fertile soil.

Cold

Hardy; plants shrug off some frost and freezing.

Harvest

Ease roots out with a garden fork when they are big enough.

Storage

Cut off the leaves and keep roots near freezing with high humidity (about 95%).

Seeding rate

About 1 oz. per 350 ft. of row, or 5.2 lb. per acre at 40 seeds per foot in 18" rows.

Packet

200 seeds.

Seeds per oz.

About 24,900 on average.
