Astra parsley is an early-maturing leafy variety with a vegetation period of 55 to 60 days until technical maturity. The plant forms a lush rosette with strongly wrinkled, curly leaves of deep green color. The leaves are medium-sized, tender, and have a distinctly pleasant aroma, making this variety especially valuable for fresh use, as well as for drying and spice preparation.
The variety exhibits vigorous regrowth after cutting, allowing for several harvests per season — usually 4-5 cuts. The first cut can be made as early as 50-55 days after sowing. Astra parsley is resistant to short-term drought and cold, ensuring stable cultivation both in open ground and in plastic greenhouses. Due to its perennial nature, this variety is suitable for year-round cultivation.
The leaves retain freshness for a long time after cutting, making them convenient for storage and further use. Parsley is widely used in cooking, especially valued for its aroma when dried or frozen. This variety is excellent for making spices and adding to various dishes, thanks to its rich green color and pronounced aroma.
