Italian Parsley (Petroselinum crispum var. neapolitanum)

Italian Parsley (Petroselinum crispum var. neapolitanum)

Italian Parsley, botanically classified as Petroselinum crispum var. neapolitanum, is a classic culinary herb valued for its flat, deep green leaves and fresh, robust flavour. These plants are grown in-house by Urbane Eight using seeds from West Coast Seeds, ensuring strong, healthy growth and excellent flavour quality. Italian parsley is widely used in cooking for its bright, slightly peppery taste and is a staple in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines.

Compared to curly parsley, Italian parsley has a stronger flavour and more tender leaves, making it especially popular for fresh use in salads, sauces, soups, and garnishes. The plant grows in a compact, upright form and can be harvested regularly throughout the growing season. It is well suited for container growing indoors or outdoors and performs beautifully in herb gardens.

Sun Requirements ▾

Bright light is ideal for Italian parsley. It thrives in bright indirect light and can tolerate some direct sun, particularly morning sunlight. When grown outdoors, it performs best in full sun to partial shade. Insufficient light may result in slower growth and less flavourful foliage.

Watering Instructions ▾

Watering should be done when the top portion of the soil begins to dry out. Italian parsley prefers evenly moist soil and does not tolerate drying out completely. Inconsistent watering can lead to wilting or bitter-tasting leaves, while overwatering may cause root issues. During warmer weather or active growth, watering frequency may increase.

Care Tips ▾

Italian parsley prefers a bright, cool to moderately warm environment with good airflow and stable conditions. It performs best in a rich, well-draining soil that retains moisture while allowing excess water to drain freely. Regular harvesting encourages fuller growth and helps prevent the plant from bolting. Italian parsley benefits from consistent placement and does not tolerate extreme heat for prolonged periods. Italian parsley can be grown outdoors once the risk of frost has passed. It prefers cooler growing conditions and performs well in garden beds or containers with well-draining soil. Leaves can be harvested as needed by cutting outer stems at the base, which encourages continuous growth. Regular harvesting helps maintain flavour and prevents premature flowering.
