Notes
'Italian Giant' parsley (Petroselinum crispum 'Italian Giant') is an herb for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It forms a clumping mound about 18 to 24 inches tall. Butterflies visit the greenish yellow blooms.
Pairs well with Chives, Dukat dill, and Crokini F1 tomato.
