giant parsley from italy, with a bigger reputation in the kitchen.

According to an old wife's tale, only the wicked can grow parsley and giving it to someone is bad luck. So perhaps leave it out of your next gift box, unless you are a wicked one yourself! Plant the seeds near your kitchen for easy picking and zesty flavours.

why it's special:

  • Large, flossy leafed parsley variety.
  • Great for cooking with high heat resistant leaves
  • Easily grown on windowsills and in containers.
