Notes

'Starlett' parsley (Petroselinum crispum 'Starlett') 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 clumping growth keeps it tidy, and the fragrant leaves attract butterflies.

Pairs well with Cilantro, Fernleaf dill, Dragoon lettuce, and Pink Delicious tomato.
