SOWING INSTRUCTIONS
Starting Indoors:
Stratify for 30-60 days. Sow in a container, cover with a plastic bag and refrigerate, or mix seed with damp clean sand or vermiculite, bag, and refrigerate at 35-40°F. Check often for germination and maintain a lightly moist medium. Transplant any seedlings as they germinate. After the chill period, sow into soilless media and keep at 65-75°F.
Starting Outdoors:
Direct sow in fall or winter sow into pots in the shade, covered with a thin layer of clean sand and a wire screen to keep out mice and voles. Check for water as needed.
PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
A resilient and reliable perennial, Baltic parsley is amenable, thriving in regular to rich soils and tolerating some drought as well as long stretches of rainy weather–if good drainage is present, especially in winter. Deer and rabbits pay it no mind, and bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects frequent the flat-topped blooms. Site in meadow plantings and cottage garden borders, paired with salvia and agastache.
Watering Details:
1" per week; drought tolerant once established.
Fertilizer:
Mix in a few inches of compost before planting.
When to Cut for Bouquets:
Cut when about 3/4 of the florets have started to open.
