Description
The root parsley resembles a parsnip in appearance but tastes strongly like parsley. It is a distinct variety of parsley that stores its vigor in the root. The foliage can be used like flat‑leaf parsley, though it is coarser.
Care instructions
Sow from March to May in a loose, deep soil, spacing seeds thinly. Germination takes two to three weeks; keep the soil moist, thin seedlings to about finger‑width apart, and regularly weed. Harvest from October; the frost‑hard roots can remain in the ground through winter and soften after frost.
