Parsley, Einfache Schnitt 3

The name 'Einfache Schnitt' translates from German to English as 'easy cut'.  So you know one reason we love this German heirloom variety.  A couple more reasons we love it: 

• sweet flavor + crisp texture
• winter hardy 
• slow to bolt
• makes an amazing Chimichurri!!!

If you're familiar with Italian flat parsley, this is very similar but grows a tad shorter, thus making it more bolt resistant (woot!). It's very hardy in our climate, and the dark green, flat leaves grow upright and top out around 12 - 24" in height and width.  In addition to the sweet flavor & crisp texture, this variety also has a built-in rot resistance.  

For cut-and-come-again harvest all season long, remove no more than 25% of the plant at a time.  Leaves harvested in the cooler parts of the day will have longer shelf life. Let some go to flower to attract beneficial insects.  Great for containers!
