Herb Parsley Seeds

Add fresh, clean flavor to everyday meals with parsley. This versatile culinary herb brings bright green foliage to herb beds and containers and a refreshing finish to soups, salads, sauces and roasted vegetables. Grow your own supply so a handful of freshly cut leaves is close at hand.

Why Grow Parsley?

• Everyday kitchen usefulness: Parsley complements garlic, lemon, vegetables and savory dishes without needing to be the main ingredient.
• Fresh harvests over time: Established plants can provide repeated leaf harvests when the growing center is left intact.
• Garden or container growing: Leafy plants fit into kitchen gardens or sufficiently deep pots with drainage holes. Check the individual listing for leaf type and mature size.

Growing Parsley from Seed

• Allow time for germination: Parsley can take several weeks to sprout. Follow packet sowing depth and temperature directions and keep the seedbed evenly moist while waiting.
• Protect developing roots: Direct sow or start seedlings in individual cells, transplanting before roots become crowded. Harden indoor-grown plants off gradually before planting outside.
• Provide suitable light: Grow in sun to partial shade. Afternoon shade can help in very hot climates, but avoid deep shade that produces weak growth.
• Maintain steady moisture: Use fertile, well-drained soil and water when needed rather than allowing repeated severe drying. Mulch lightly around established plants, keeping the crown clear.
• Plan for its life cycle: Parsley is generally grown for leaves as an annual, although it is botanically biennial. Plants that overwinter may flower in their second season, reducing leaf production. Start new plants for a continuing leafy harvest.

Harvesting and Culinary Uses

• Cut outer stems first: Once plants are well established, snip mature stems near their base and leave the central young growth to develop. Avoid removing most of the plant at once.
• Use beyond garnish: Chop washed leaves into tabbouleh, herb sauces, dressings and compound butter. Add toward the end of cooking when you want a fresher flavor.
• Save extra harvests: Refrigerate clean parsley appropriately for short-term use or freeze chopped leaves in portions for later cooking. Freezing softens the texture, so use thawed parsley in prepared dishes.

Parsley has a history of traditional herbal use, but this collection is intended for culinary gardening, not treating digestive problems or other medical conditions. Concentrated preparations and essential oils are not equivalent to ordinary food use. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before medicinal use, especially during pregnancy or when taking medications.

Important Growing Notes

Packet seeds are for planting, not direct consumption. Harvest only correctly identified parsley grown for food; do not gather wild lookalikes, as some related plants are poisonous. Wash harvested herbs and follow the labels of any products used on edible plants. Germination and harvest results depend on conditions. Follow the individual product and seed packet for variety-specific directions.
