Notes

'Katinka' parsley (Petroselinum crispum 'Katinka') is an herb for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It forms a tall, clumping mound of curled leaves that look highly uniform. Butterflies visit it, and the leaves are fragrant.

Pairs well with Lettuce, Cilantro, and Candyland Red tomato.
