Most People use a lot of parsley in their kitchens and it is great to always have a few sprigs freshly available from your garden.
- Unlike other herbs, Parsley will grow in shady spots.
- They also like a lot of water – under a tap is often a very good position.
- Feed your plants with Nitrasol to encourage foliar growth.
- Remove the flower heads when the plants start to seed to encourage more foliar growth
- Established plants will often last for a few years if they are maintained properly.
