Notes: Parsley flavour complements any dish without ever dominating the taste. This variety features deep green, ruffled foliage and has a vigorous growth habit. It is a biennial or tender perennial that when planted with roses enhances their fragrance. Also used extensively as a garnish and for its superior breath freshening qualities.
Instructions: Direct seed when earth can be worked. Easy to grow. Appreciates cool roots so mulching with a light straw is beneficial and may prevent early bolting. Easy to grow once established. Gently prune to encourage it to bush out.
Habitat: Well-drained nutrient-rich soil and protection from extreme afternoon sun are encouraged.
