Italian Parsley is a cool season herb that produces rosettes with finely divided, deep green leaves. Plant in full sun or partial shade in soil amended with plenty of compost, and feed with a high nitrogen fertilizer. Italian Parsley will also grow very well in containers. If growing in a container, we recommend using Fox Farm Ocean Forest potting soil.

Planting your 6 pack: Plant each cluster of seedlings 6-8 inches apart, and water in after planting.

Harvest by picking off the outer leaves of the rosette, and plants will regrow from the center. Or, you may shear the entire plant off at the top leaving about 1 inch from the base to re-grow. Chop up the raw leaves to add to salads, pasta dishes and soups. Parsley is highly nutritious and beneficial to your health!
