Parsley - Curled

Curled Parsley (Biennial)
Neat, curly and wonderfully fresh, Curled Parsley is a classic kitchen herb with a mild, clean flavour. Its tightly ruffled leaves look beautiful on the plate and are perfect for garnishing, parsley sauce, pestos and salsas. Easy to grow and very versatile, it can be grown indoors or out, and freezes or dries well for year-round use.
