Herbs Cultural information: "Curly Parsley" seed needs to be stratified before planting which makes it difficult for the average gardener to germinate. It is much easier to visit your local Garden Center or greenhouse to purchase pre-started plants. 

Plant the pre-started Curly Parsley plants about 8" apart in full sun to part shade. As the end of the growing season approaches "Curly Parsley" can be dug, potted and grown in a bright window sill or sunroom.

Butterflies are attracted to most varieties of Parsley.
