Parsley - Italian 4"

Italian Parsley (4" Pot), also known as flat-leaf parsley, is a culinary staple valued for its fresh, bold flavor and vibrant green leaves. Compared to curly parsley, Italian parsley has a stronger, more aromatic taste that makes it ideal for seasoning soups, sauces, salads, and Mediterranean dishes. This fast-growing herb is easy to grow in containers, garden beds, or windowsill planters. The 4" pot size makes transplanting simple and convenient for both indoor and outdoor use. In addition to its kitchen versatility, Italian parsley is also rich in nutrients like vitamin C, K, and iron, and it attracts beneficial pollinators when left to flower.

• Flat, deeply green leaves with robust flavor.
• Grown in a 4" pot—perfect for containers or transplanting.
• Essential herb for Mediterranean and savory cooking.
• Fast-growing and productive with regular harvesting.
• Rich in antioxidants and essential vitamins.

Plant Care Instructions:

• Light Requirements: Prefers full sun (6+ hours per day); tolerates partial shade, especially in hot climates.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
• Soil: Best grown in well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Use high-quality potting mix for containers.
• Temperature & Hardiness Zone: Grows as a biennial in Zones 6–9, but is typically treated as an annual in Zone 3b and colder. Not frost-hardy—plant outdoors after last frost.
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 3–4 weeks during the growing season for optimal leaf production.
• Pruning & Maintenance: Harvest by cutting stems at the base, starting with the outer leaves. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the plant at a time.
