Posted by Marilyn (Kentucky - Zone 6a) on Jan 3, 2014 9:11 PM This is the variety I usually grow. I used to only grow it for the butterflies (and their caterpillars), but since we have two lopped eared bunnies, I grow it and split the parsley between the bunnies and the caterpillars.

Posted by riceke (Snellville, GA - Zone 7b) on Jan 22, 2014 1:01 PM Most descriptions say that the Italian Flat Leaf parsley has stronger flavor than the curled variety, but I find it just the opposite, especially when chopping for cooking. Also, after growing both kinds for well over 10 years, I have found that the Italian flat seems to be a little bit hardier. [ Reply to this comment | |
