Planting & Care

To grow Italian Giant Parsley from seed, start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Soaking seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting can help speed up germination, which can take 2-4 weeks. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until seedlings emerge.

Once established, parsley requires minimal care. Water regularly during dry spells and mulch to retain moisture. Harvest outer stems first to encourage continued growth. Parsley can be harvested throughout the growing season and can be dried or frozen for later use.
