About Italian Flat Leaf Parsley

Italian Flat Leaf Parsley is a versatile culinary herb prized for its bright green, deeply divided flat leaves and rich, peppery flavour. It is a staple ingredient in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and European cuisines, used generously in sauces, soups, salads, marinades and as a fresh garnish. The leaves are easy to chop and hold their flavour well when added during cooking, unlike many delicate herbs.

As a biennial herb, parsley typically produces lush foliage in its first year before flowering in its second season. Many gardeners choose to sow or replant annually for the best leaf production. With regular harvesting from the outer stems, plants will continue to produce fresh growth throughout the growing season.

Growing Tips

• Plant in a sunny or partially shaded position in moist, fertile, well-drained soil


• Water regularly, especially during warm or dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist


• Harvest from the outside of the plant first, cutting stems at the base to encourage new growth from the centre


• Feed occasionally with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season


• Can be grown successfully in garden borders, raised beds, patio containers or kitchen windowsills


• Protect with a cloche or move containers under cover during harsh winter weather to extend the harvest season
