Petroselium of the Katinka variety is a mid-season universal variety developed by Enza Zaden. This variety is characterized by high yield and resistance to adverse conditions such as temperature fluctuations, frosts, and hot weather. Katinka is suitable for cultivation in open ground, greenhouses, and even on balcony beds, making it a universal choice for various climatic conditions. The vegetation period lasts about two months, and seeds germinate approximately one week after sowing.
The plant forms compact, medium-height bushes with upright stems and dense foliage. The leaves of Katinka parsley are curly, dense with double spirals, evenly covering the bush. After cutting, the greenery regrows quickly, allowing for multiple harvests during the season. Additionally, cut greens retain their market appearance for a long time, which is especially important for distribution and storage of the product.
Katinka parsley is widely used in culinary applications due to its rich aroma and succulence. It is excellent for fresh consumption, such as in salads and as a garnish, as well as for preservation and drying. The variety is recommended for year-round cultivation both in open ground and in greenhouses, making it attractive for both farmers and home gardeners.
