A parsley with very full, curly leaves. It can be grown in pots on a balcony or windowsill. Curly parsley is less fragrant than flat-leaf parsley, but its foliage is more decorative.


Sow directly in the ground:
Sow in rows that are 25cm apart. Spread the grains out leaving space between them. Cover with fine soil, firm down and water. Keep the soil moist until they come through.


Care:
Water regularly. Harvest by cutting the stems at soil level as you require them. In regions with mild winters, the parsley can be kept under a cloche.
