Italian Parsley is often referred to as Flat leaf Parsley and is one of the most popular culinary herbs in Australia because of its stronger flavour.
Like other varieties of Parsley it is biennial so you'll need to re plant for the third year.
Italian Parsley leaves, being flatter, are easier to use chopped in salads, pestos and as a general garnish. It is also generally considered to be more tender for cooking in soups, stews and casseroles and is even better in combination with basil, oregano, thyme and bay leaves.
Parsley is an essential ingredient in the delicious Middle Eastern dish tabbouleh and is always worth growing in order to always have fresh supplies at hand. It also attracts butterflies to your garden.
