How to grow Giant of Italy Parsley

Giant of Italy Parsley is an easy-to-grow, frost-hardy herb that flourishes in various settings. It thrives in sunny locations, ideally receiving 6-12 hours of sunlight daily, and is adaptable to both containers and garden beds. Planting it with a spacing of 8-12 inches ensures ample room for growth. Its disease-resistant nature ensures a thriving garden. Just watch out for aphids.

This herb grows as a perennial plant in hardiness zones 6 through 9 but can also grow as an indoor plant or kitchen herb in cooler zones. When growing this herb indoors, be sure to give it plenty of light.

Its rich green leaves are easy to harvest. Opt for flat-leaf parsley for cooking – it boasts a stronger flavor. Curly-leaf parsley, on the other hand, adds a delightful garnish to your creations. Harvest in the morning for the best aroma and snip outer leaves first. For freshness, immerse the stems in water when storing.
