How to Grow
Start flat parsley seeds indoors in a bright container or window box with well-drained soil, as this biennial herb prefers a sunny spot. It is low-maintenance and looks after itself once established, making it ideal for balconies or garden beds.
Sowing
Sow the flat parsley seeds thinly on good seed compost and cover lightly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to encourage germination, which can take up to three weeks. This can be done any time of year from January to December indoors.
Growing
Once seedlings have developed, thin them to avoid overcrowding, ensuring each plant has enough space to grow within a 20 cm pot or garden area. This spacing helps the flat parsley achieve healthy growth during its main growing months from June to September.
Plant care
Keep the soil moist throughout the growing season, especially during warmer months, to support steady development. Regularly pinch back the flat parsley to encourage bushier growth and prolong the harvest period, making the most of this fresh garden herb.

FAQs
Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to improve germination.
Parsley is typically grown as a biennial or annual herb in UK gardens. It is a biennial: leaf in the first year, flowers in the second. Harvest: Pick leaves from 70 days after sowing, harvesting outer leaves first. Flowering runs June to September.
Snip outer leaves near the base, allowing inner leaves to continue growing. Sow the flat parsley seeds thinly on good seed compost and cover lightly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to encourage germination, which can take up to three weeks. This can be done any time of year from January to December indoors.
Seedlings usually appear in 14–28 days. Sow from January to December.
Yes — this is a straightforward packet to give, and what makes it work as a gift is mostly timing. Sowing runs January to December, so a packet given inside that window can go straight in, and one given outside it keeps perfectly well until the season comes round.
There are approximately 400 seeds in the packet, so there is plenty to share. On effort it looks after itself, which matters if you are giving it to someone new to growing. It suits pots, beds and windowsills, so it works for a small space as well as a garden.
