Light. Full sun to partial sun. A little afternoon shade protects it from strong sun and may help it last longer.
Water. Keep the soil evenly moist.
Soil and feeding. It grows well in containers and can share a pot with other herbs. Use a mix such as Organic Pro Mix: Veggies and Herbs.
Size. Grows to about 1 ft. Space plants about 6 inches apart.
Pruning. Pick a few outer leaves at a time for a steady harvest, or cut a whole bunch at once.
Good to know. Plant it in fall or winter. In Florida it grows as a cool-season annual, then flowers, sets seed and dies in late spring. Flat-leaf parsley has the strongest flavor of the parsleys. It is a host plant for black swallowtail caterpillars.
