Dark Green Italian Flat Leaf Parsley Seeds

Dark Green Italian Flat Leaf Parsley is the chef's herb of choice—its broad, deeply flavored leaves have a fresh, vibrant taste far superior to curly varieties, and it has been the foundation of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking for generations. This Oregon Farm Original variety is exceptionally hardy, disease-resistant, and reliably productive through a long harvest season. Worth every day of its patient germination process for the flavor you simply cannot find at a grocery store.

Growing Instructions: Soak seeds in warm water overnight before planting to improve germination—parsley is famously slow to sprout. Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost or direct sow in early spring. As a biennial, parsley overwinters in mild climates and bolts to flower in its second year, after which it should be replanted.
