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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
