Parsley, Italian (Petroselinum crispum) seeds, organic
$2.95 – $26.10
Family: Carrot (Apiaceae)
Biennial or overwintering annual, hardy to zones 5 to 9, usually grown as an annual, 70 days to harvest
(Italian Parsley) Native to southern Europe. Our strain produces a strong, upright plant that gives tasty leaves all summer long. Frankly not impressed by the texture of curled parsleys–we offer the smooth-leaved type that is easier on the palate. Sow in spring or summer. Plant prefers full sun to part shade, and rich, moist soils. Easy to sow directly in the garden in spring or fall, or sow in pots and work up in successively larger pots. Very forgiving plant for growing in pots or planters in apartment, townhouse, suburbia, or where we live out here–the sticks.
Packet contains 300 Seeds
5 g contains ~2,500 seeds

Certified Organically Grown
Question
Kalili –
Hello, is this parsley (Petroselinum crispum) used as Carum petroselinum, Apium petroselinum, Petroselinum lativum (A Modern Herbal listings) or Petroselinum sativum? Or has the name updated to ‘crispum’? Are the roots of Petroselinum crispum usable as well? Thank you for all your wonderful plants, seeds and sharing of your knowledge!

Hi Kalili,
Thanks for staying in touch. Lovely Maude Grieve lists all the old Latin names for these things, as well as giving us, usually, the most comprehensive listing of common names, in several languages. I also recollect that her pages on Parsley were particularly in-depth. She must have put a great deal of observational expertise into cultivation of this common plant. You’ll get increased perspective when you read my book “Growing Plant Medicine Vol 1.” Meanwhile, yes, this is standard italian broadleaf parsley. Yes, the species name has been updated. You can use the root in the first year before it goes woody. Richo
