Italian Parsley is one of the most widely grown herbs and for good reason. This herb develops large and flat green leaves that can be used either dried or fresh for a wide range of dishes. Also known as Petroselinum crispum Italian, Italian Parsley can be grown both in the garden or in a container. It is easy to grow and care for.
Italian Parsley Care
The Italian Parsley grows best when it is given full sun, either outdoors or on a window sill. Growing to around 2 feet tall and wide, you will want to give it space to thrive. Picking leaves frequently throughout the year will encourage new growth to emerge.
Growing Italian Parsley
To promote the healthiest and most abundant foliage, plant Italian Parsley in full sun with a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight per day. One of the best ways of growing it is in a container by the kitchen window so you can harvest its leaves when you need them. As a biennial herb, it is often treated as an annual and left to self-seed.
When growing Italian Parsley in a container, choose a pot around 8 to 12 inches in diameter and at least 6 inches deep. Plant it in a free-draining and fertile compost mix for best performance.
Watering Italian Parsley
Parsley requires regular watering to prevent it from drying out and bolting. When watering parsley, aim to keep the soil on the moist side, but not soggy.
Feeding Italian Parsley
Fertilizing parsley will help keep it productive over the season. When grown in a container, parsley benefits from a balanced liquid feed every 4 to 6 weeks.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
