HOW DO WE GROW IT?

It will be necessary:

  • Cold stratification:
  • Prepare the seeds: Clean them and, if necessary, soak them for a few hours.
  • Mix: Mix the seeds with a moist substrate (sand or vermiculite).
  • Condition: Put everything in an airtight bag.
  • Refrigerate: Place the bag in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 weeks.
  • Check: Make sure the substrate remains slightly moist.
  • Sow: After the stratification period, sow the seeds in prepared soil.

That's it! It helps the seeds germinate.

Our seeds are vigorous, open-pollinated and adapted to the Quebec climate.

  • Species: Anthriscus cerefolium; Apiaceae
  • Sowing: Early March indoors, early April under cover outdoors, or sow outdoors or in pots at the beginning of May
  • Seeds: 15-20 seeds per pot, final transplanting into an outdoor pot or soil around mid-May
  • Personally, I soak my seeds in water for a day to activate germination.
  • Sowing depth: 0.5 cm
  • Germination time: 7-21 days
  • Soil: Poor, humus-rich, loose and well-drained
  • Location: Sun and tolerates shade and cold very well
  • Spacing between plants: 20-30 cm
  • Height at maturity: 30-60 cm
  • Maturity: 45-60 days | Annual that reseeds easily
  • Seed per envelope: +/- 200
