parsley 'Extra moss curled'

curled parsley or Petroselinum crispum

Product Image
Parsley is a very versatile herb. It can be used to freshen the breath, add flavour to foods - or simply act as a garnish. The tightly crimped leaves have a rich flavour, but it is also one of the most decorative herbs in the garden. It's very reliable and a perfect choice for pots and troughs, which should be placed by the back door for easy picking.

How to care for Petroselinum crispum Extra moss curled:

Plant parsley in moist, fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded spot. Keep it well-watered, especially in dry weather, and feed occasionally to maintain lush growth. Harvest outer leaves regularly from the base to encourage fresh new shoots. Parsley is biennial, producing the best leaves in its first year, so replant annually for a steady supply. In frost-prone areas, parsley should either be overwintered indoors in a cool greenhouse or protected outdoors using a cloche.

Sowing instructions:

Sow into pots or seed trays in early spring. Seeds are slow to germinate so be patient. Once the weather warms up harden off and transplant outside in a lightly-shaded spot, allowing 25cm (10in) between plants. Later in the season sow direct into shallow drills and thin seedlings to final spacings. Pick leaves once they reach about 8cm (3in) tall. To speed up germination, water newly-sown seeds with just-boiled water.
