Now the best Italian flat-leaf is Certified Organic! Specially developed for use as fresh seasoning, this parsley offers large, bright green leaves that you can cut as needed all season long on compact plants.
Flat-leafed Parsley is far more nutritious than the curly type. Cut the entire plant at once for drying the leaves as a spice, or harvest the individual leaves as you need them. The plant will keep sprouting new stems all season long!
Ornamental enough to put in the flowering annual bed as well as the herb garden, this plant is a biennial but should be grown as an annual (it flowers early the second year, destroying the rich flavor of the foliage). You will love it in the sunny garden!
Parsley seeds take a while to get going, so you may want to soak them overnight before sowing. If you're beginning them indoors, be sure to transplant them as soon as they have two sets of true leaves (and the soil is warm), because they have a long root and resent being transplanted once they have begun to leaf out. If you're growing them in a pot for the kitchen window, select a container that is long and narrow rather than wide and shallow, to give the root room to run. Pkt is 100 seeds.
Common Parsley, P. crispum var. crispum, is a biennial often grown as an annual. It is grown for its divided, curled or flat, dark green leaves. Harvest them at any time for use as a flavoring or garnish. Plants can be heavily harvested as long as the growing point remains; after heavy harvesting fertilize and water to promote new growth. If plants are allowed to grow a second year, harvest the leaves before the flowers open. Hamburg Parsley, P. crispum var. tuberosum, is grown for its fleshy root. Dig it in the fall, after a frost, to use as a flavoring or as a vegetable (the leaves have little flavor)
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
