INTRODUCING PARSLEY SEEDS

Parsley is a multi-purpose herb, used in a variety of dishes, from salads and soups to marinades and sauces. They also are useful as a breath freshener, a medicinal herb, and for making a relaxing herbal tea. Parsley leaves can be flat or curly, each with a slightly different flavor profile. These plants are grown successfully in many regions, be it hotter or cooler, making them a popular garden herb everywhere.

PLANTING PARSLEY SEEDS

Parsley seeds can be started indoors, 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, or sown directly in the garden in spring or fall. These seeds may germinate quite slowly, often in 2 to 4 weeks, so soaking them overnight before planting will speed up the process. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep. Ensure the soil is evenly moist until germination.

MAINTAINING PARSLEY PLANTS

This plant requires regular watering and steady soil moisture. Parsley benefits from ground fertility and cool weather for lush leaf growth. It can be harvested as needed; cut the outer leaves, allowing the plant to continue producing. Fresh foliage will grow throughout the season.

With our parsley seeds, gardeners can cultivate a tasty herb. This plant adds flavor, with a bonus of nutritional value to any meal. This is one herb that’s truly a staple in any kitchen setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
