Description
Petroselinum crispum
A butterfly & bee favorite when left to flower!
A great variety for containers!
This sweet and nutty-tasting curly parsley from Renee's best French supplier has none of the harsh texture or metallic flavor that often characterize ordinary commercial varieties. It germinates readily and grows vigorously to form graceful plumes of beautifully green, double curled leaves. These ornamental plants provide handfuls of pretty leafy sprigs for edible garnishes and decorations throughout the season or you can cut and add them with abandon to every savory dish you cook.

TO PLANT DIRECTLY IN THE GARDEN
In spring when weather is settled but still cool, sow seeds 1 to 2 inches apart into well-worked fertile soil in full sun and cover 1/4 inch deep. If climate is very hot, plant in a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade. Parsley germinates unevenly over several weeks; be patient and keep seed bed evenly moist.
TO START EARLY INDOORS
Sow parsley seeds in early spring in a container of seed starting mix. Cover 1/4 inch deep, and keep container moist but not soggy until seedlings emerge. Provide a good light source. Feed seedlings frequently until ready to transplant when about 2 inches tall after acclimating to outdoor conditions.
THIN OR TRANSPLANT
Space 3 to 4 inches apart when seedlings have several sets of leaves.
GROWING NOTES
Parsley needs rich moist soil and ample spacing for lush harvests. Thin early and keep well weeded and watered. Begin to harvest sparingly once plants have 8 to 10 leaves. Fertilize monthly with a high nitrogen source for best leafy growth.
