Parsley 'Gigante d’Italia' Seeds

Parsley seed has a hard coat and naturally takes three to four weeks to come up, sometimes longer in cold soil. Soaking it overnight in warm water and keeping the compost evenly moist and warm both help. Mark the row so you do not lose track of it while you wait.

Yes. Parsley has a long taproot, so choose a pot at least 20 cm deep and fill it with multipurpose compost. Keep it watered and pick from the outer stems so new leaves keep coming from the centre.

It is a biennial. In its first year it makes leaves; in the second spring it sends up flower stems, the leaves turn coarse, and the plant dies after setting seed. Most gardeners sow fresh each year, often twice, for a continuous supply.
