Parsley (Petroselinum)
Parsley: Flat or curly green leaves grow in clumps. Flat-leafed types grow 2 to 3 feet tall, curly types to 1 foot. Biennial often
grown as an annual. All zones.
Best culinary varieties: 'Giant Italian' is best for cooking; the curly type ('Extra Curled' or 'Green River') is good as a garnish.
Growing tip: Start new plants each year. In mild-winter climates, plant in fall or early spring (provide partial shade in hot climates);
in cold climates, plant in spring after last frost.
Harvest tip: Pick outside leaves so the center of the plant continues to develop new ones.
Uses: Bouquets garnis, cheese sauces, pestos, soups, stews, stuffings, vegetables, and as a garnish.
