A heritage cultivar grown in British gardens for generations, Moss Curled Parsley is as practical as it is decorative. Its robust structure stands up well to cooking, while its neat habit makes it ideal for edging vegetable plots or planting in mixed herb containers near the kitchen door.

• Flowers: June–August (usually removed to prolong leaf production)
• Hardy biennial (grown as annual)

• Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained
• Aspect: South, east or west-facing
• Sun levels: Full sun to part shade

Grown in peat-free compost and supplied in a biodegradable coir pot, made from coconut fibre and natural latex. Simply remove the plant and compost the pot, break it up for mulch, pop it in the green bin, or leave it out for nesting birds. Keep the soil evenly moist and harvest regularly to encourage fresh growth. Protect from strong frosts if overwintering.
