What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Bring fresh, authentic flavor to your kitchen with Italian Flat Leaf Parsley Seeds (Petroselinum crispum var. neapolitanum) from Survival Garden Seeds. This classic heirloom herb is known for its broad, dark green leaves and robust, clean flavor—a staple in Mediterranean and American cuisine. Perfect for soups, sauces, salads, and fresh garnish, it’s a must-have for every home garden.

Reliable, Flavorful, and Easy to Grow:
Italian flat leaf parsley thrives in containers, raised beds, or garden rows, making it easy to grow in almost any setting—from sunny windowsills to backyard plots. Regular harvesting encourages new growth, providing a cut-and-come-again supply of tender leaves all season long. The plants are biennial, often grown as annuals for their lush first-year foliage.

Why Gardeners Love Flat Leaf Parsley:

  • Classic culinary flavor – Brings bold, bright taste to soups, salads, sauces, and garnishes.
  • Adaptable growing habit – Performs well indoors or outdoors in most U.S. climates.
  • Slow but steady germination – Soak or chill seeds before planting to speed sprouting.
  • Pollinator-friendly – Attracts beneficial insects and serves as a host for swallowtail butterflies.

Planting Instructions:
Parsley seeds can take 2–3 weeks to germinate, so patience and moisture are key. For best results:

  • Soak seeds overnight or refrigerate briefly before planting.
  • Sow ¼ inch deep in moist, well-drained soil.
  • Keep soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge.
  • Grow in full sun to partial shade depending on climate.

Harvest & Storage:
Snip outer stems first, allowing the plant to continue producing. Use fresh parsley to brighten cooked dishes, or dry or freeze leaves for long-term storage. Italian flat leaf parsley’s smooth leaves are easier to chop and more flavorful than curly types—ideal for cooks who value freshness and simplicity.
