Parsley Italian Herb Seeds
1000 Seeds
Italian (flat-leaf) parsley is highly regarded for its rich flavour and is often considered the best variety for salads and fresh use. With high levels of iron and vitamin C, it’s as nutritious as it is versatile. Its fresh, clean taste complements garlic, Mediterranean-style dishes, and classic sauces of northern Europe, making it an essential kitchen herb.
How To Grow
Sow seeds thinly, 1cm deep, in trays or pots of seed-raising mix. Parsley can be slow to germinate; to help speed things up, water with hot (not boiling) water after sowing, taking care not to disturb the seeds. Thin seedlings to 15cm apart, later transplanting to final positions 30cm apart in the garden or into pots. Keep soil moist for steady growth. To dry parsley, wash leaves, then oven-dry quickly at 95°C (200°F) or blanch in boiling water before drying in a hot oven for less than 1 minute. Store in airtight, lightproof containers.
When To Plant
Can be sown all year round, indoors or outdoors.
Harvest
Pick leaves as required throughout the year. Regular cutting encourages new growth.
Soil Type
Thrives in fertile, moist but well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
