Growing Double Curled Parsley in the Herb Garden
Sow seeds about 0.25 inches deep—direct-sow outdoors after risk of frost or start indoors about 6-8 weeks before last frost, spacing seedlings around 6-12 inches apart.
Keep soil moist and well-drained; mulch to conserve moisture. Thin seedlings to maintain spacing, and plant in full sun to partial shade. Great as border or companion plant with many vegetables and flowers.
Harvesting of Double Curled Parsley
Harvest leaves any time once plants reach 6 inches tall—snip outer stems to encourage regrowth, harvesting regularly throughout the season.
In the kitchen, use fresh leaves for garnish or cooking—the curly fronds add texture and mild herbal flavor to salads, soups, and sauces.

Tips From Our Gardeners
"I love how this parsley practically acts like a mini green cushion with its robust curls—it’s a go-to garnish and pick-me-up in soups! Heads up, though—it takes its sweet time to sprout, so get those seeds going early."
