Growing Plain or Single Parsley in the Herb Garden

Parsley grows best when direct-sown outdoors, though it can also be started indoors and transplanted once seedlings are strong. Sow seeds about 0.25 inch deep, spacing plants 6-8 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart. Germination can be slow, so keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge.

Thin seedlings to allow airflow and steady growth. Parsley pairs well with tomatoes, asparagus, and roses as a companion plant. Regular watering and mulching will encourage lush, leafy growth, while removing flower stalks will extend the harvest period.

Harvesting and Use of Plain or Single Parsley

Begin harvesting once plants are well established and leaves are full and vibrant, usually after 70–90 days. Cut the outer stems at the base, leaving the inner ones to continue growing. Frequent harvesting encourages new growth, and leaves can be enjoyed fresh or dried for later use.
