Slow to get going

These planting disks are convenient and fit perfectly in a 6" pot, but they are slow to germinate and grow. More than 3 months after planting the first one, the sprouts are maybe 2" high, nowhere near big enough for harvest. Plan on a long lead time to usable herbs.

Seed Depth 1/4"
Seed Spacing 2-3/inch
Days to Emergence 12-18
Thin Plants to 8-10"
Row Spacing 12-18"
Fertilizer Needs Medium
Minimum Germination 65%
Seeds per Gram ≈ 350
Seed Life 2 years

Petroselinum crispum Parsley's vitamin K content merits it a focal place at the table rather than its familiar status as a mere garnish. With over 155% DV of vitamin K packed in just 2 tablespoons, it's a potent source of nutrition, but its health benefits don't end there. It's also rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and vitamins A and C.

Days to maturity are calculated from direct seeding date.
