Growing Forest Green Parsley in the Herb Garden
Start Forest Green Parsley indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting, or direct sow at 0.25 inches deep. Space plants 6-12 inches apart in rows 24 inches apart.
Maintain with consistent moisture and occasional feeding; mulch in warm climates. Companion plants include asparagus, carrots, onions, roses, and tomatoes—parsley repels pests and attracts beneficial insects like hoverflies.
Harvesting of Forest Green Parsley
Harvest when stems reach about 10 inches tall by snipping outer leaves at the base, leaving inner growth to regenerate. Regular harvest encourages bushier growth and extends yield.
Bright, crisp curled parsley adds fresh color to soups, salads, and stews; it also dries well or freezes easily for long-lasting use.
