Italian Giant Parsley

Seed Count: Approx. 400 seeds Days to Maturity: 70 Days Description: This parsley variety grows larger than other varieties, and produces huge thick stocks of parsley.  The Italian Giant parsley is a flat leaf variety that packs a richer flavor that curled leaf parsley.  It's excellent in salads, cooking, and sauces, and definitely a perfect herb for drying or for fresh use, as well.  If you're like me, and hate parsley, consider growing it in your pollinator garden.  Parsley attracts the black swallowtail butterfly, and is an ideal host plant for their caterpillars.  It's the perfect plant for them, if you don't want them eating all of your carrot tops!  Parsley also grows well in containers.  How To Grow Sowing:  Start your parsley seeds indoors to give your plants a head start.  It's helpful to soak the seeds overnight, but it's not necessary.  Plant them 1/4 inch deep and keep them at 65-70 degrees F.  Parsley has a notorious habit of germinating slowly, so don't expect to see spro
