What is the difference between Italian and curly parsley?
Italian (flat-leaf) parsley has a cleaner, brighter, more robust flavor than curly parsley, which is why many cooks prefer it for cooking.
When and how do I plant parsley seeds?
Parsley is slow to sprout, so soaking the seeds overnight helps. Sow about a quarter inch deep after the last frost, or start indoors; germination can take two to four weeks.
How much sun and space does parsley need?
Grow parsley in full sun to part shade in rich, moist soil, and space plants about 6 to 8 inches apart. It does well in containers too.
Is parsley an annual or biennial?
Parsley is a biennial, growing leaves the first year and flowering the second. Most gardeners grow it as an annual for the foliage and resow each spring.
How do I harvest parsley?
Snip the outer stems at the base once plants are established, leaving the center to keep growing. Regular harvesting encourages fresh new leaves.
What is parsley used for?
Italian parsley brightens sauces, soups, salads, and grain dishes, and is the base of pestos, gremolata, and tabbouleh.
