Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) is a biennial herb with bright green, lacy leaves that can be either tightly curled or flat. Native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean regions, it grows with a deep taproot and supporting secondary roots.

Where does parsley grow best?

Sun: Parsley does well in both full-sun and part-sun environments. If you're planting parsley indoors, be sure to grow it near a sunny window. Water: Although parsley grows its best in moist soil, it is relatively drought-tolerant.

Where does parsley grow in the garden?

Parsley enjoys well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Pick a spot that gets full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight). Try to choose an area that is weed-free; that way, you'll be able to see the parsley sprouting after about 3 weeks.
