"Richer flavor than Extra Curled Dwarf parsley. Italian parsley has plain, flat, deeply cut dark green leaves. Biennial. Start seeds early indoors, or outdoors after danger of frost. Height 15-18"". Grows best in full sun."

"This parsley grew into a thicket, after repeated mowing it just refused to be daunted. It is delicious and crisp. It is still rejuvinating itrself and is still a three foot by two foot mound even after frost killed the basil."

Excellent Early Harvest,

"Just as I grow Basil for our love of pesto, this parsley is our favorite for Pesto Pasta.
This seed started fairly well, with a fair germination rate and fair seedling strength during the early start season. Once established and transplanted, they performed exceptionally, really taking off in their growth.
The flavor is just as described, intense, so a little goes a long way but is perfect for pesto. Right now mine are determined to go to seed, putting out flower stalks like crazy, but still maintaining a good flavor in the surrounding leaves. This plant is quite strong and shades out any weeds in the surrounding around very well.
I love this parsley and will be growing it every year from now on."

"Early in the season, had a couple of good harvests, then let the bed "go to the weeds", figuring I had all I needed, plus gave some away. What a surprise to go back late in the summer and find that the plants had done terrific, even competing against the weeds!! Feeling guilty for the neglect. I had two more harvests from this patch, and gave even more away. This will be a staple in my garden from now on!!"
