Planting & Care

Sow Forest Green Parsley seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Soaking seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting can help improve germination, which can be slow and uneven. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Thin seedlings to stand 8-12 inches apart to allow for healthy growth.

Parsley prefers a sunny to partially shaded spot with rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves as needed, starting when plants are established, and remove flower stalks to encourage continued leaf production. With minimal care, Forest Green Parsley will reward you with a bountiful harvest of fresh, aromatic leaves.
