Parsley is an undemanding and easily cultivated vegetable that is propagated by direct sow to the soil. Seeds available in our store have been treated.

Parsley withstands low temperatures well, what makes an autumn sow in November or December possible. Cultivation in rows 30 - 40 cm apart is recommended. In order for the plants to develop regularly shaped, high quality roots, you ought to plant them in 4 - 6 cm spacings. Growing "Eagle" parsley in fertile, well cultivated, rather moist soils that are rich in humus brings best results. The optimal soil pH for parsley is 6.5.
