Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds indoors in pots of moist, high-quality seed compost from late winter onwards, or sow directly outdoors in shallow drills 1cm deep into fertile soil from spring to mid-summer.
• Parsley can be slow and erratic to germinate; keep the soil or compost consistently damp and place in a warm, bright position to encourage steady growth.
• Harvest by regularly snipping the outer stems from the base of the plant, which promotes rapid new leaf development from the center of the clump.
