Description

Moss Curled Parsley is a finely textured, highly decorative variety known for its tightly curled, deep green leaves and clean, fresh flavor. It is commonly used as both a culinary herb and a garnish, adding a bright, slightly peppery taste to soups, salads, sauces, and meats.

This reliable biennial is typically grown as an annual for leaf production and is valued for its slow bolting and continuous harvest potential. Its compact, bushy growth also makes it well-suited for garden beds and containers.

• Type: Biennial herb (grown as an annual)
• Direct sow: Early spring or fall
• Sun: Full sun to partial shade
• Spacing: 6–10 inches
• Height: 8–12 inches
• Days to harvest: 70–90 days

Parsley grows best in cool weather and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Seeds can be slow to germinate, so soaking or pre-sprouting may help. Harvest outer stems regularly to encourage fresh growth from the center. Consistent harvesting promotes a fuller, longer-lasting plant.
