Technical characteristics and Vilmorin quality

These premium quality herb seeds benefit from Vilmorin know-how and strict quality controls. Dark green curly parsley has very finely cut, dense foliage, giving a high yield of tender leaves. Its intense dark green colour reflects a richness in chlorophyll and nutrients.

This hardy biennial variety copes well with climatic variations and adapts to ordinary soils, even chalky ones. Its spread sowing period from March to August allows staggered harvests until the first frosts. Germination takes between 15 and 30 days depending on weather conditions.

Sowing techniques and practical advice

To optimise germination, soak the seeds for 12 hours before sowing in lukewarm water. This technique noticeably improves the emergence rate. Sow in rows 25 cm apart, burying the seeds lightly (0.5 cm deep). Keep the soil cool with regular but moderate watering.

In open ground, choose a partly shaded to sunny spot, sheltered from strong winds. In planters or containers, ensure effective drainage and use a substrate rich in humus. Thinning to 8-10 cm between plants encourages development. The first harvests come 2 to 3 months after sowing, by regularly cutting the outer leaves.

Expert tips and beneficial pairings

Staggered sowings: make a new sowing every 3-4 weeks for a continuous harvest. This +50% free offer is perfect for this technique! Storing the seeds: keep the surplus in a dry, cool place; the seeds retain their germinating power for 2-3 years.

Favourable pairings: parsley goes perfectly with radishes, carrots and tomatoes in the vegetable garden. It naturally keeps certain pests away while improving the flavour of neighbouring vegetables. Ideal companion planting with our other Vilmorin seeds: basil, chives and chervil, to create a complete herb bed.

Chef's tip: freezing chopped parsley in ice-cube trays with a little water preserves its aromas perfectly. Avoid: excess water, which encourages rot, and exposure to drying winds, which turn the foliage yellow.
