Variety traits
Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Nyman ex A. W. Hill
The cold tolerance of parsley is manifested in the ability of seeds to germinate at +2…+3 °C, and seedlings and mature plants to withstand short-term frosts down to −7…−9 °C. This trait allows for early spring and late autumn sowing, as well as cultivation in unheated greenhouses.
In the reference 8 varieties crop Parsley, where this is mentioned in the description.
Parsley seeds begin germination at low positive temperatures, which allows for sowing in the soil at the earliest possible dates. Seedlings and vegetative plants possess high frost resistance, withstanding temperature drops down to −7…−9 °C, which exceeds the corresponding indices for carrots.
The high cold adaptability of the crop makes it possible to practice late autumn sowing on frozen soil and to use unheated greenhouses during the autumn-winter period. Plants are capable of successfully overwintering under snow cover, providing an early harvest of greens in the second year of life; meanwhile, leaf varieties, particularly curly ones, demonstrate a more pronounced ability to maintain leaf turgor during cooling.
