HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Most gardeners sow Forest Green parsley seeds indoors to give the plants a head start; soak the seeds overnight, then plant them 1/4" deep and keep them at 65-70 degrees F. Because parsley has a notorious habit of slow germination, don't expect to see sprouts for 3-5 weeks. Keep the soil evenly moist. Transplant the seedlings when the average outdoor soil temperature reaches 60 degrees F, spacing them 6" apart in full sun or partial shade. Parsley also grows well as a container plant.
Growing: Parsley has shallow roots, and should not be allowed to dry out for long. Mulch to help conserve moisture and control weeds. Forest Green parsley tolerates cold weather especially well, and will not yellow or fade even in the heat of summer.
Harvesting: Harvest the leaves as needed, taking the large outer leaves first and removing at least 10" of stem with the leaves to keep the plant healthy. The whole plant can be harvested at once, cutting it off just above ground level; more leaves will grow. Use immediately or freeze to preserve freshness.
Seed Saving: Though most varieties of parsley can survive below zero temperatures when mulched well, another method of overwintering is to dig up the entire plant, cut down the stems to 1", and plant it in sand; keep it in a 32-40 degrees F location until spring replanting. Watch the developing seed heads carefully, since they tend to shatter easily; pick each one as it becomes dry and mature. Additional drying time may be needed. Clean the seed by rubbing the heads through a screen or shaking them. Store Forest Green parsley seeds in a cool, dry place for up to 4 years.

My experience shopping with Everwilde is always excellent! Really great, easy to navigate website that makes it really easy to shop and to get infoAmount available displayed if your quantity requested is more than available - this makes it easier to decide how many you will get. The packaging is great - love the foil packs which help to preserve the seed life/quality. Absolutely no issues with shipping. Emails are responded to promptly and the email tone is friendly and helpful. The "notify me" when available feature really does work! This is really helpful because you may not always be on the site when a specific seed that you wanted becomes available but the email alert lets you know that the seed is available again. I love the service! I prove the products - there is every wide variety of seeds available under many categories - vegetables, fruits, flowers, grass, micro greens.
