Description: Biennial. Most people like to cook with Italian parsley out of all parsley. It is definitely worth growing your own to get the freshest possible leaves to cook with. Parsley is rich in vitamins. Grows well as a container plant.

Care: Even though parsley will come back again the second year, it will make few leaves and lots of flower heads. It is better to plant fresh each year.
