Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley Seeds (Petroselinum crispum)

A favorite among chefs and home gardeners alike, Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley is prized for its rich flavor, vibrant green leaves, and endless culinary uses. Add fresh harvests to soups, salads, sauces, marinades, and garnishes, or preserve the leaves for year-round enjoyment. This versatile herb is easy to grow and a staple in every kitchen garden.

Parsley can be direct sown or transplanted in spring or late summer. Because the seeds germinate slowly, soaking them overnight before planting helps improve germination. Once established, plants are moderately frost tolerant and provide a long season of harvests.
