My favorite

I love the flat leaf parsley for cooking. It takes awhile to germinate but once it gets going it produces a plentiful supply.

Great parsley variety

I love this parsley! It has given me a constant supply of lush deep green leaves all summer and well into fall. It even survived the winter and I am still harvesting the leaves this Spring.

Dark Green Italian Plain parsley

Wonderful parsley! I direct seeded it straight into one of my raised beds. It took a while, but the germination rate was fantastic. This parsley grew really well, strong and tall, had a great flavor and texture, and is still growing in my garden in November. I highly recommend it!

Petroselinum crispum Parsley's vitamin K content merits it a focal place at the table rather than its familiar status as a mere garnish. With over 155% DV of vitamin K packed in just 2 tablespoons, it's a potent source of nutrition, but its health benefits don't end there. It's also rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and vitamins A and C.
