Herb's Parsley 'Flat-leaf'
Petroselinum crispum var. neapolitanum
I was recently admiring LindaMae’s flat leaf parsley and mentioned how I wanted to get some for my garden. I went out to the garden the other day and there it was – a flat leaf parsley plant.
Flat leaf Parsley
Italian flat parsley has the best flavor but the curly parsley is really cute. Both make great visual additions to the garden. The Greeks used parsley to edge their herb gardens, possibly because of its protective nature. Many people in the nursery trade are rediscovering parsley’s ornamental contribution and it is once again being recommended as a border or edging for flower and vegetable gardens. It only grows 10 or 12 inches tall and forms a nice little hedge when planted 6 or 8 inches apart. Its solid dark green color brings out the colors of flowers planted around it.
