Curly Parsley

Curley or curled parsley is known for the shape of its leaves, which curl inward. This plant is an annual that can be added to your garden in either spring or fall. Curled parsley trends to grow 12 inches tall and needs full sun with partial shade. All transplants should be added 12 to 15 inches apart but can be used in containers, as well. The soil, in all cases, needs to be well-drained and moist.
