Notes
'Parsley Pea' parsley (Petroselinum crispum 'Parsley Pea') 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. Its fragrant leaves attract butterflies, and it matures in about 30 days. It is open-pollinated, so you can save seed.
Pairs well with Cherokee lettuce, Pink Delicious tomato, Teddy dill, and Cilantro.
