Parsley Italian Giant

Additional Details

Sow Inside

Sow inside in either modular trays or pots. Thinly in peat compost in early spring, cover lightly and do not let dry out. Keep temperature at 20°C and thin when large enough.

Sow Outside

In May or June when the ground has warmed and continue sowing until September for a crop into the next year. Sow in shallow drills and cover with fine soil. Germination is slow but keep watering while waiting. Prefers rich moisture retaining soil in semi-shade.

Harvest

At any time. Cut low down on the plants. Once harvested, its best to use fresh, but you can also freeze parsely to use at a later date.

Handy Tip

Using cling film over the top of the pots or trays will help to keep moist. It can take around 4-5 weeks for these seeds to germinate.
