- Long Harvest Period: Offers a longer harvesting window for both the roots and the leaves, making it a valuable crop for extended use in the kitchen.
Variety Features
- Plant Type: Biennial herb that produces both edible leaves and roots.
- Growth Habit: Grows up to 18–24 inches tall, with a thick, edible root that can reach up to 6 inches in length.
- Flavor Profile: The leaves have a fresh, mild parsley flavor, while the roots offer a more intense, aromatic flavor that is similar to a blend of parsley and celery.
- Uses: Roots are used in cooking, particularly in broths, soups, and stews. Leaves are used in salads, garnishes, and as a seasoning in a variety of dishes.
- Harvest Time: Leaves can be harvested in 60–90 days, while the roots require 90–120 days to mature fully.
Planting Instructions
When to Plant
- Indoor Growing: Start indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date to get a head start on the growing season. You can continue to grow them indoors year-round.
- Outdoor Growing: Plant outdoors in early spring once the soil has warmed up, or in late summer for a fall harvest.
Soil & Spacing
- Soil Requirements: Arat Root Parsley prefers well-drained, rich, fertile soil. Aim for slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0) for optimal growth.
- Spacing: Space seeds or young plants about 6–8 inches apart to allow for proper root development and to ensure healthy growth of both roots and leaves.
Germination
- Temperature: Ideal germination occurs between 60°F–70°F (15°C–21°C).
- Germination Time: Seeds typically take 14–21 days to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Care Instructions
- Watering: Water regularly, ensuring the soil stays moist, but avoid waterlogging. Arat Root Parsley requires consistent moisture to develop both healthy roots and tender leaves.
- Sunlight: Choose a spot with full sun or partial shade. Arat Root Parsley does well in bright sunlight but can tolerate some shade.
- Thinning: Thin seedlings early to ensure plants have enough space to grow their roots and foliage without overcrowding.
- Mulching: Use mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and prevent weeds from competing with your parsley.
Harvesting Details
- Leaf Harvesting: You can begin harvesting leaves as soon as they are large enough, typically around 60–90 days after planting. Snip leaves from the outer parts of the plant, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing.
- Root Harvesting: To harvest the roots, wait until they are fully mature, usually after 90–120 days. Carefully dig up the roots using a spade or fork, taking care not to damage the root system.
Culinary Uses
- Roots: The roots are typically used in soups, broths, and stews, where their savory flavor can infuse the liquid. They can also be roasted or pureed into sauces.
- Leaves: The leaves can be used in a variety of dishes, such as salads, garnishes, soups, and as an ingredient in sauces or marinades.
- Herb Blends: Combine the leaves with other herbs like dill, thyme, or oregano for seasoning mixes.
Conclusion
Arat Root Parsley is a versatile, dual-purpose plant that offers both flavorful leaves and aromatic roots. This parsley variety adds a unique touch to your garden, allowing you to harvest both the tender leaves for garnishing and the roots for hearty, flavorful cooking.
