Park Seed Italian Flat Leaf Organic Parsley Seeds

Description / Italian Flat Leaf Organic Parsley Seeds

Days to Maturity: 60 from transplant

Now the best Italian flat-leaf is certified organic. Specially developed for use as fresh seasoning, this parsley offers large, bright green leaves that you can cut as needed all season long on compact plants.

Flat-leaf parsley is far more nutritious than the curly type. Cut the entire plant at once for drying the leaves as a spice, or harvest the individual leaves as you need them. The plant will keep sprouting new stems all season long.

Ornamental enough to put in the flowering annual bed as well as the herb garden, this plant is a biennial but should be grown as an annual (it flowers early the second year, destroying the rich flavor of the foliage). You will love it in the sunny garden.

Parsley seeds take a while to get going, so you may want to soak them overnight before sowing. If you're beginning them indoors, be sure to transplant them as soon as they have two sets of true leaves (and the soil is warm), because they have a long root and resent being transplanted once they have begun to leaf out. If you're growing them in a pot for the kitchen window, select a container that is long and narrow rather than wide and shallow, to give the root room to run.
