Parsley seeds — the kitchen's most-used herb

Parsley is the indispensable kitchen herb — fresh, clean and endlessly useful, from a garnish to the base of sauces and salads like tabbouleh. The species is gathered under Petroselinum crispum within our culinary herb range. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Parsley is slow to start but worth it — the herb calendar shows the timing.

Curled and flat-leaf parsley

Tightly curled parsley is the classic garnish and salad type; flat-leaved (French or Italian) parsley has a stronger flavour prized for cooking. A biennial usually grown as an annual, it sits among our aromatic herbs and does very well in our container range.

Growing parsley from seed

Parsley is famously slow and erratic to germinate, so keep the seed warm and the soil moist and be patient. Sow in spring and again in summer for a year-round supply, and pick regularly to keep fresh leaf coming.
