Flat Italian parsley adds the perfect flavor to frittatas, chickpea salad, and pasta dishes.
Try blending it with garlic, olive oil, and walnuts to create a perfect parsley-based pesto. Or use it for a classic gremolata with lemon and garlic. Flat Italian parsley holds up better in cooking than the curly variety, plus it tolerates warm weather better.
Easy to chop, the nutritious leaves are high in iron and vitamins A, C, and E. It’s the perfect palate cleanser, too, as its chlorophyll-rich leaves naturally sweeten breath. Flat Italian parsley grows best in light, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.
Try growing it in a container if drainage is an issue in garden beds. It’s a great addition to fall and winter gardens in zone 7 and warmer, making a pretty companion with cool-season flowers, like pansies and violas. Frost tolerant.
Biennial (grows the first year and blooms the second).
