Petroselinum crispum – Parsley Italian Improved seeds x 150

The Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley is a native of Italy which is often given the variety status of Neopolitana after the area in which it is found.

Parsley is an annual or biennial plant depending on the climate in which it grows. A temperate climate allows the plant to over-winter with a large storage tap root while in sub-tropical and tropical climates the plant is an annual. It has a less bitter taste than the curly variety and is most often used in cooked dishes.

It grows as a rounded clump of stems each with one to three curled leaflets of mid-green and growing to 25 cm long. Harvesting is continual on a ‘need’ basis and cut stems may be stood in a glass of water to maintain freshness.

Offered is a packet of approx. 150 seeds with propagation notes.
