Parsley is the most popular and widely grown of all the herbs. It is rich in vitamins and can be used raw as a garnish or in salads. It is so versatile it can even be added to many recipes and sauces during cooking. It is ideal for freezing but as it is such a hardy herb, there is rarely any need to do this. The ideal plant to have on your window sill in your kitchen!

Italian Giant Parsley is a much hardier variety than its curled counterparts, and should withstand most winters (yes, even the UK ones!). It has a vigourous growing habit that germinates easily, producing an aromatic plant with large, bright green plain leaves. It boasts a good strong flavour that is widely used in many dishes and in bouquet garni.
