The "Alba" root parsley is a medium late variety. Its slender roots are recommended for the consumption after the harvest, processing, and long term storage. The variety that we present here develops strong dense foliage and aromatic roots, whose flesh does not darken. Roots of the "Alba" parsley are shapely, conical, and from 16 to 18 centimetres long on average. "Alba" is highly valued for its high resistance to discolouring and storage diseases. The light, delicious flesh of the "Alba" parsley can be widely used in the home kitchen and in food processing industry.
Root parsley grows well on fertile, sandy-clay, deeply cultivated soils that contain plenty of humus. The optimal soil pH for his vegetable is 6.5. Sufficient water supply is essential for the proper development of parsley during the germination stage and intensive root development. Lack of water reduces crops volume and leads to forking of the roots. We recommend to sow parsley seeds on sunny sites.
Root parsley is a vegetable grown exclusively from seeds. It is sown usually in spring, when the soil has already dried a bit after the winter. We recommend to sow "Alba" variety from the third decade of March until May. The vegetation period lasts from 160 to 180 days. Keep the rows 30 to 40 centimetres apart and the seedlings four to six centimetres apart. We recommend to grow parsley in ridges in compact and wet soils.

The quality control process
All our seeds must pass a four-stage quality control process.
Stage one begins with a careful selection of the suppliers. Than we proceed with controlling their crops, foreign producers are not excluded from the quality control process. Plants are checked at every stage of their development: when they start to grow, during blooming and when they start bearing fruit (seeds). At this stage the most important thing is to ensure proper spacing of the plants. Thanks to that obtaining the desired morphological characteristics of each particular species or variety, such as colour, height and shape, can be ensured.
Stage two consists of a detailed verification tests in laboratory conditions. With the use of the highest quality equipment by the highly qualified staff, our suppliers perform more than 30 000 quality checks annually. The seeds that do not meet our requirements are subject to technological refining processes, including drying, cleaning, upgrading and testing again.
Stage three starts with sowing seeds in selected control plots. That way we obtain valuable, exact information concerning their germination that must be maintained at an appropriate level. Simultaneously, the varietal identity of each species is checked at this stage.
Stage four takes place in our warehouses and consists of eliminating seeds that have been stored for too long on our shelves and replacing them with new batches. Each package is stamped with a unique batch number and also with the sow-by-date.
All four stages combined allow us to state with confidence that the seeds we deliver comply with the highest standards and have completed all required control stages with flying colours.

Germination
We are committed to selling only the highest quality seeds. Taking into consideration the efforts we make daily, please also note that plants are living organisms and their germination and growth depends on many factors, such as temperature, soil type, humidity and the frequency with that they are watered, sowing time and conditions, use of fertilizers and plant protection agents (pesticides), as well as weather and climate conditions. We provide help by sharing the accurate and up-to-date sowing and growing information, however, we cannot bear any responsibility for the plants that were not cultivated in conditions appropriate for given species.
