(Sheeps or French Parsley) The true variety, absolutely unsurpassed for flavour. A beautiful, fully curled deep green variety.

Companion Plant: Said to improve the health and vigour of roses and tomatoes when grown next to them.

Bred to give increased Hybrid vigour, garden performance and flavour, thus increasing your harvest. Due to their wide ranging pest and disease resistance, there will be no need for the use of chemicals.

Sow April to June. Soak the seed in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Sow thinly, 1cm (½ inch) deep in drills 30cm (12 inches) apart in any deep and moist, well-drained soil, which has had well-rotted manure incorporated during the previous season. You should also water the soil well before sowing. Germinate can be very slow, however it is essential to keep the ground moist at all times, especially during hot weather.

Thin out seedlings when large enough to handle, to 15cm (6 inches) apart.

Leaves are ready for harvest within 6-8 weeks from sowing, harvest as and when required. If foliage yellows, cut back to base and feed with liquid fertiliser to promote new growth.
