Parsley Plain Leaved Herb Seeds

Petroselinum crispum is a classic herb variety known for its smooth, flat leaves and fresh, vibrant green colour.

 

The Latin name Petroselinum crispum refers to the crisp nature of its leaves, with petroselinum meaning "rock parsley" due to its origins in rocky, Mediterranean areas.

 

This variety offers a milder, more delicate flavour than curly-leaved parsley, making it perfect for culinary use in sauces, salads, soups, and garnishes.

 

Growing to a height of 25-30 cm, Parsley Plain Leaved thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and enjoys a sunny or partially shaded spot in the garden. Its smooth, flat leaves are perfect for easy harvesting, making it a favourite in herb gardens, containers, and window boxes.

 

Known for its reliable growth, this hardy herb can be harvested regularly to provide a constant supply of fresh parsley for your kitchen.

 

An excellent addition to any garden, offering both fresh flavour and a neat, attractive appearance.
