How to use

Sow seeds in prepared garden beds or formed rows in a sunny to partially shaded position with well-drained fertile soil. Lightly cover seeds with fine soil, keep the seedbed moist and thin seedlings to maintain spacing that encourages air circulation and leaf development. Harvest outer leaves or cut stems as needed once plants have reached sufficient size, allowing continuous regrowth from the central rosette. Follow local sowing dates for parsley to avoid frost risk during germination and early growth.

Usage recommendations

For steady fresh supply, sow in successive short rows or perform staggered sowings at intervals of two to four weeks during the main growing season. Regular watering and periodic light feeding promote leaf production; avoid waterlogging. Harvest early in the day for the best flavour and store cut herbs refrigerated for short-term use.
