Characteristics:Petroselinum crispum, commonly known as parsley, is a biennial herb that is widely cultivated and used as a culinary herb. Parsley has a clumping growth habit, forming a rosette of leaves near the base.

The leaves of Petroselinum crispum are bright green and are divided into multiple leaflets. The leaves are compound, with two or three sets of leaflets arranged along a central stem. The leaflets are deeply toothed or divided, giving parsley a feathery or fern-like appearance.

Parsley has a mild and fresh aroma. The leaves have a clean, slightly peppery, and herbaceous flavor. The flavor profile varies between the curly-leafed and flat-leafed varieties, with the flat-leaf parsley often considered to have a stronger flavor.

There are two main varieties of Petroselinum crispum: curly-leafed parsley (Petroselinum crispum var. crispum) and flat-leafed or Italian parsley (Petroselinum crispum var. neapolitanum). Curly-leafed parsley has tightly curled or crinkled leaves, while flat-leafed parsley has broader, smoother leaves with a stronger flavor.

Parsley requires regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist. It benefits from regular pruning to encourage new growth and prevent bolting (flowering) in the second year. Harvesting the outer leaves promotes continuous growth. Parsley self-seeds readily, allowing it to reappear in subsequent growing seasons.
