Sometimes simplicity is best. Plain Parsley, also known as Flat-Leaf or Italian Parsley, is beloved for its bright, clean flavor that subtly enhances soups, sauces, salads, and countless other dishes. Its upright, dark-green leaves make it a practical and attractive choice for kitchen gardens and containers alike. Unfussy and prolific, Plain Parsley is a must-have staple for both budding and experienced gardeners.

Parsley’s roots trace back to ancient Mediterranean civilizations, where it was revered for both culinary and ceremonial uses. Monks and apothecaries cultivated it throughout medieval Europe, which helped spread it northward. By the 16th and 17th centuries, parsley seeds regularly appeared in European botanical gardens. In the United States, Plain Parsley began showing up in commercial seed lists in the early 1800s, quickly becoming a kitchen essential in American homesteads.
