Planting & Care

For best results, sow Dark Green Italian Giant Parsley seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. 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.

Once 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.
