Parsley seed
« on: August 22, 2010, 08:26 »
Hi all, I'm new around here & a novice gardener so no doubt will be posting some stupid questions  :D
I grew parsley last year & it's now gone to seed. I understand it only lasts 2 seasons.
I would like to use the seed for more plants.
What should I do?

Thanks

Collect the seeds from the flowerheads as they dry and turn brown and store them in dry container. Store in a cool, frost free place. Flat and curly leaved varieties will cross so you should only grow one type of seed at a time. If you are sowing them fill a container with compost, dampen it, so the seeds and cover with compost or vermiculite. Cover the container with glass or plastic and try to maintain a temperature of 20C in order to get good germination.

Hope that helps. Good Luck

Yes, the same for corriander. Corriander generally germinates quicker than parsley and goes to seed in the same season.
