Organic 'Plain Leaf' Parsley

Organic 'Plain Leaf' parsley (Petroselinum crispum var. neapolitanum), offered by the seed company Aimers

This heirloom variety of flat-leaf parsley produces dark green, deeply cut leaves with a bushy habit. Its tender texture and rich, bold flavor add a distinctive taste to soups, stews, and other dishes. More aromatic than curly parsley, it is prized for its versatility and extended harvest period.

Planting and maintenance:
Sow directly from May to July in average, loose, well-drained soil in full sun, at a depth of about 6 mm, in rows spaced 40 cm apart.

A light application of nitrogen-rich fertilizer will promote abundant foliage throughout the season.
