What is "Below Standard Seed"?
Simply put, it is a seed that doesn't meet our state's (Utah) germination standard, a standard that varies slightly from seed to seed. Any seed intended for gardening with a below-standard germination rate cannot be sold alongside those that meet the state requirements (which often reflect the national requirements for germination).
We send samples of all our seed to the Utah Department of Agriculture, where they perform several tests to assess the quality of the seed. These state-wide and national seed standards are in line with Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA), which exist to ensure consumers that they are getting the highest quality seed, as advertised. Since this seed doesn't meet the state standard, we mark it as "Below Standard Seed".
Low germination seeds are non-refundable.

Growing Plain or Single Parsley in the Herb Garden
Parsley grows best when direct-sown outdoors, though it can also be started indoors and transplanted once seedlings are strong. Sow seeds about 0.25 inch deep, spacing plants 6-8 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart. Germination can be slow, so keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge.
Thin seedlings to allow airflow and steady growth. Parsley pairs well with tomatoes, asparagus, and roses as a companion plant. Regular watering and mulching will encourage lush, leafy growth, while removing flower stalks will extend the harvest period.
Harvesting and Use of Plain or Single Parsley
Begin harvesting once plants are well established and leaves are full and vibrant, usually after 70–90 days. Cut the outer stems at the base, leaving the inner ones to continue growing. Frequent harvesting encourages new growth, and leaves can be enjoyed fresh or dried for later use.
