Parsley Krausa Seeds

Parsley Krausa Seeds produce one of the finest moss curled parsley varieties available for home gardeners and professional growers alike. This outstanding variety develops dense rosettes of beautifully curled, rich green leaves held on long, sturdy stems, making it equally suitable for harvesting fresh, bunching or ornamental garnishing. With its vigorous growth, excellent flavour and reliable regrowth after cutting, Krausa has become a favourite for kitchen gardens, allotments and commercial herb production throughout the UK.

Unlike many standard curled parsley varieties, Krausa produces exceptionally dense foliage that remains fresh and attractive over a long harvesting period. The leaves have a fresh, aromatic flavour that complements soups, sauces, salads, fish dishes, roasted vegetables and countless traditional recipes. The attractive tightly curled foliage also makes an excellent garnish, adding colour and texture to a wide variety of dishes. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production of fresh leaves throughout the growing season.

Krausa is renowned for its vigorous regrowth following cutting and its ability to retain excellent leaf colour throughout the season. The plants show good tolerance to summer heat while remaining productive well into autumn, making them one of the most dependable curly parsley varieties for UK conditions. They are equally at home in vegetable gardens, herb borders, raised beds, patio containers and greenhouse production, providing fresh herbs over many months.

Sowing & Propagation

Sow seeds from February to July under protection or directly outdoors from March onwards when soil temperatures begin to rise. Sow seed approximately 1 cm deep into a good quality seed compost or finely prepared soil.

Parsley germinates slowly and may take 14 to 28 days, sometimes longer in cool conditions. Soaking the seed overnight before sowing can help speed germination. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant or thin plants to approximately 20 to 30 cm apart to allow good air circulation and healthy growth.

Growing On

Grow in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Incorporate compost or well-rotted organic matter before planting to improve soil structure and encourage vigorous growth.

Water regularly during prolonged dry weather and remove flower stems as they appear to encourage continuous leaf production. Harvest little and often by removing the outer stems first, allowing the centre of the plant to continue producing fresh growth. Feed occasionally with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season to maintain lush foliage. Krausa performs equally well in containers, raised beds and traditional herb gardens.

Harvesting

Begin harvesting once plants are well established, usually from late spring onwards. Cut the outer stems close to the base as required, leaving the younger central shoots to continue growing.

Regular harvesting encourages fresh replacement growth, allowing plants to remain productive for many months. Leaves can be used fresh, frozen or dried, although fresh parsley provides the finest flavour.

Why Grow Parsley Krausa?

Parsley Krausa Seeds are an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a reliable herb that combines ornamental beauty with outstanding culinary performance. The finely curled, dark green foliage creates an attractive edging plant in vegetable gardens, herb borders and decorative containers, while its vigorous growth ensures a continuous supply of fresh leaves throughout the season. Unlike many herbs that decline quickly after harvesting, Krausa responds exceptionally well to regular cutting, producing fresh new growth that allows repeated harvests over many months.

This versatile parsley is equally suited to experienced gardeners and beginners. It thrives in raised beds, greenhouse borders, patio containers and traditional kitchen gardens, making it ideal where growing space is limited. The aromatic leaves can be picked as required and used fresh to enhance soups, sauces, salads, fish, meat dishes and roasted vegetables, while surplus harvests can be frozen to retain much of their flavour. With its dependable performance, attractive appearance and excellent regrowth, Parsley Krausa Seeds provide a long-lasting harvest that no productive herb garden should be without.
