Please note: Parsley has the reputation of being extremely difficult for home gardeners to germinate. Fear not! By soaking the seeds 12-16 hours in warm (not hot!) water you will substantially increase germination rates. It is also important to understand that germination typically takes anywhere from two to four weeks, depending upon temperature and moisture. Sow outdoors in early spring in rows 10 to 12 inches apart, and cover 1/2 inch deep. Later thin the plants to stand about 6 inches apart.

Please note: Rosemary, like Parsley, has the reputation of being extremely difficult for home gardeners to germinate. Fear not! Our seeds were tested in November, 2008 and germinated at a rate of 30%, which is quite high for Rosemary. Direct seeding outdoors is not always successful, so we recommend starting seeds indoors in trays or pots, three seeds per cell, and allow a minimum of 3 weeks for germination. Optimum germination occurs at around 62F, but room temperature is fine.
