Extra Curled Parsley
Extra Curled Parsley has a wonderful flavor and is a great source of vitamins. It has fragrant deep green frilly leaves on mounding compact plants. It will grow from 9" to 12" tall and just as wide. Plant in full sun to partial sun in moist, well drained soil.
Extra Curled Parsley is a biennial which means it will only live for two years. The second year it will produce flower heads that are a creamy yellow color. The blossoms will attract butterflies. If you are wishing to save the seed, then allow it to overwinter and produce seed. If you are growing this herb for harvesting the leaves, then grow this herb as an annual as the second year's leaf growth is not desirable for fresh eating or drying the leaves.
The leaves of Extra Curled Parsley are used in cooking and as a fresh garnish. It is also a great breath freshener. Plant Extra Curled Parsley in a Rock Garden, Cottage Garden, or grows well in containers. It is deer resistant due to the fragrant leaves.
Extra Curled Parsley can be used fresh or dried. To dry the leaves, hang the parsley upside down in a warm location away from sunlight. When the leaves are dry, remove them from the stems and store the leaves in a tightly closed container for up to a year in a cool, dark location, such as a cupboard. Do not crush the leaves until they are ready for use as they may lose some of their flavor.
