The Flat-Leaf Parsley 'Géant d'Italie' (Petroselinum crispum) is a highly aromatic and productive variety, distinguished by its tall stems and broad, flat, dark green leaves. Renowned for its robust flavor, it is a staple in culinary applications, both raw and cooked.
Sowing: Soak seeds in water for 20 hours to facilitate germination; sow thinly in rows from March to mid-May, and again in mid-July for winter harvests.
Transplanting: Not typically required; thin seedlings to 15 cm apart to allow adequate growth.
Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry periods.
Harvest: Begin harvesting leaves as needed once plants are established; regular cutting encourages new growth.
Other Considerations: Rotate planting locations annually to prevent soil-borne diseases; prefers partial shade in summer and full sun in cooler seasons.
