Frequently Asked Questions

Italian curly parsley is easy to grow and care for, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced gardeners.

Where is the best place to plant curly parsley?

Curly parsley grows well in garden beds and pots with good-quality potting mix. It prefers full sun but can tolerate afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates. Growing parsley alongside other herbs like basil and chives adds both flavour and beauty to your herb garden.

Does curly parsley grow back every year?

Curly parsley is a biennial herb, meaning it typically grows for two years. In its second year, it may go to seed and produce parsley seeds for the following season. With regular harvesting, you can extend its productivity and enjoy fresh leaves longer.

What's the difference between Italian parsley and curly parsley?

Italian or flat-leaf parsley has a stronger flavour and smoother leaves than curly parsley. While both are used in cooking, curly parsley is often used as a garnish, whereas Italian parsley is preferred for its bold taste in dishes. Both types are compatible with other herbs in the garden and can be grown indoors.

How do I harvest curly parsley without damaging the plant?

Harvest by snipping the outer stems close to the base to keep your parsley plant healthy. This encourages new growth from the centre of the entire plant, allowing it to remain productive. Start harvesting when your parsley has become a robust young plant, and continue as it matures.
