Know before you buy
Gigante D'Italia is a flat-leaf variety known for a more robust, intense flavor compared to the milder curly types. Its large, broad leaves are also much easier to chop and clean, making it a favorite for culinary use.
Yes, as a biennial, this parsley will grow leaves throughout its first season. If you provide winter protection, the plant can survive the cold and return in the second year to provide an early spring harvest before it eventually goes to seed.
Yes, these are certified organic seeds. They are also open-pollinated, meaning you can save the seeds from your plants to grow again in future seasons.
For the best growth and leaf production, plant these seeds in a location that receives full sun. While parsley can tolerate partial shade, full sun ensures the most vigorous, heavy-yielding plants.
The ideal time to sow Gigante D'Italia is in the spring. Because they are hardy, they can often be started once the soil is workable, though they prefer consistent moisture to germinate effectively.
