Commonly Asked Questions
Does parsley grow back every year?
Parsley is a biennial herb, growing leaves in its first year and flowering in its second. Typically treated as an annual, it is discarded after the first year and resown each spring.
Should parsley be grown in pots or ground?
Parsley thrives both in pots and in the ground. Growing in pots is great for limited spaces and provides easy access. Outdoors, it serves as a pest-repelling companion plant, while indoors on a sunny windowsill, it continuously produces fresh leaves.
What is the best month to plant parsley?
Plant parsley in late winter or early spring for a robust initial crop. An autumn crop can be established around September or October, depending on your local climate.
Does parsley like full sun or shade?
Parsley prefers full sun, requiring six to eight hours of direct light per day. It can also tolerate light shade. Sow seeds directly into the ground after the threat of spring frost has passed.
Can parsley be left outside in winter?
Parsley can withstand some frost, but not hard freezes. Mulching can protect the roots from freeze-thaw cycles. Alternatively, some plants can be dug up and brought inside for the winter season.
