EXTRA TRIPLE CURLED (Moss Curled) 
Plant compact, leaves dark green and so finely cut and closely 
curled as to resemble tufts of moss. Aside from its value for 
flavoring and garnishing the plant is decorative. Taller than

The root of this variety is edible and resembles a slender parsnip 
in color and shape. The flesh is white, dry, and similar to celeriac 
in flavor. The roots may be stored in sand for winter use.
