Curly Leaved Parsley

Petroselinum crispum var. crispum

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Apiaceae
Plant Description: Parsley has been a popular and well-known culinary herb since the Middle Ages. Its flavorful, dark green leaves are rich in vitamins and frequently used as a garnish. This is a biennial plant, meaning it typically grows for two years, but it often reseeds year after year. It is a good choice for growing in containers and can even be kept indoors in pots year-round. This frilly-leaved variety can make an interesting addition to ornamental plantings.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
