Giant of Italy Parsley

One plant in 2.5 inch deep pot

Great with lemon and garlic in a salad with tomatoes, quinoa, or bulgar wheat. In our region parsley grows all summer and winter long, giving you a continuous supply of this delicious green herb. Huge, dark green leaves with great flavor. Strong, upright stems and high yielding.

LIGHT PREFERENCE: Sun.

SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Grows well in moist, fertile soil. If planted in a well-drained location, it can normally be wintered over to produce a crop early the following spring. Mulch where temperatures go below 0°F (-18°C).

Water during dry spells and side-dress with compost or a balanced fertilizer once or twice during the growing period, if necessary.

PLANT HEIGHT: Ht. 18-20"

PLANT SPACING: 8-12".

HARDINESS ZONES: Biennial.

HARVEST: Clip leaves when needed. To maintain the crispness and appearance of freshly harvested parsley, store at temperatures of 32–36°F/0–2.2°C at 95% relative humidity. Parsley can be used either fresh or dried. To dry, wash clipped leaves and spread out shallowly on screens in a warm, airy place. When thoroughly dry, rub and store in jars.
