Parsley is a versatile and flavorful herb commonly used in culinary dishes and garnishes. The three varieties offered by Wispy Willows Nursery are Giant of Italy, Moss Curled, and Triple Curled.

Giant of Italy: This variety of parsley features large, flat leaves with robust flavor. It is favored for its culinary uses and adds a bold taste to dishes. The leaves are flat and deeply serrated, making them ideal for chopping and adding to recipes.
Moss Curled: Moss Curled parsley is known for its tightly curled, dark green leaves. It has a milder flavor compared to the Giant of Italy variety and is commonly used as a garnish or in salads. The curly leaves add visual interest to culinary creations.
Triple Curled: Triple Curled parsley features finely curled leaves that resemble miniature ferns. It has a delicate flavor and is often used as a decorative garnish or in fresh salads. The curly texture adds texture and elegance to dishes.

Location: Plant parsley in a location that receives partial to full sun. It can tolerate some shade, especially in hot climates.

Soil: Provide well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Parsley prefers rich, organic soil but can adapt to various soil types.

Planting: Sow parsley seeds directly in the garden or start them indoors and transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date. Space plants 6 to 8 inches apart in rows spaced 12 to 18 inches apart.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water parsley regularly, especially during dry periods, to prevent wilting and bolting.

Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around parsley plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

Fertilizing: Fertilize parsley with a balanced fertilizer or compost in early spring and again during the growing season to promote healthy growth.
Harvest parsley leaves as needed once the plants reach 6 to 8 inches tall. Use scissors or garden shears to snip off outer leaves, leaving the inner leaves to continue growing. Avoid harvesting more than one-third of the plant at a time to ensure continuous growth.

Store fresh parsley in the refrigerator wrapped in a damp paper towel or stored in a plastic bag for up to two weeks. Alternatively, freeze parsley leaves for longer storage or dry them for use as a dried herb
