Soaking seeds in water for 24 hours before planting can help speed germination. Plant in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained, fertile soil. Keep the seedbed consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which may take several weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, parsley requires moderate watering and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage continued growth, and remove flower stalks if you want to prolong leaf production. Parsley is relatively low-maintenance and can be grown in containers or garden beds, making it a versatile addition to any herb garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e2000 Dark Green Italian Giant Parsley seeds (\u003cem\u003ePetroselinum crispum\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824735027510,"sku":"FOLIA2-1118","price":14.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6578521947_tt4p.jpg?v=1793004377","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/2000-dark-green-italian-giant-parsley-seeds-heirloom-non-gmo-herb","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
