Plant Care
Position: Full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil

Hardiness: Hardy biennial in the UK – produces leafy growth in the first year and may flower in the second

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells, to maintain tender, flavourful leaves

Sowing: Sow indoors from February or directly outdoors from March to July. Soak seeds in warm water overnight before sowing to improve germination. Sow thinly and cover lightly with soil

Harvesting: Pick leaves regularly from late spring onwards to encourage fresh, bushy growth

Hot Tips: Harvest from the outer stems first to allow the centre to keep producing. Parsley is slow to germinate, so be patient! Perfect for containers, windowsills, and garden beds. Let some plants flower in their second year to attract pollinators.

Pet Friendly: Yes
