Slow-bolting Coriander (cilantro)

The germination rate of parsley seeds tends to be low, so consider soaking the seeds overnight before sowing to improve your chance of success.

Sow parsley seeds 1/4 inch deep.

Sow seeds about 6 to 8 inches apart. For larger plants, sow about 8 to 10 inches apart.

Be sure to keep soil moist while seeds germinate.

It can take 2 to 4 weeks for seedlings to appear.

Tip: Plant radish seeds in the gaps between parsley seeds. The radishes will sprout and grow before the parsley appears, and the radishes will mark the row.

Indoors, you can use a grow light to help seedlings grow. Make sure it remains at least two inches above the leaves at all times.
