Parsley will grow in ordinary soil in sun or part shade but for best results prefers a rich moist soil.
Soak the seeds overnight before sowing.
Earliest sowings can be made in the warmth during late winter and planted out in early spring after hardening off.
Outdoors, sow 1cm (½in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart.
Growing Instructions
Thin the seedlings gradually to 23cm (9in) apart.
Aftercare Instructions
To harvest pick over the plants regularly to encourage fresh new growth.
As a pot plant prick out of boxes into 8cm (3in) pots and finally into 15cm (6in) pots.
Grow in a cool, airy, well lit spot.
