A must-have herb for home cooks and gardeners, curled parsley is a hardy biennial herb that is grown as an annual. Its finely cut, tightly curled, rich green leaves are used to both flavor and garnish dishes. It's a favorite for flavoring potatoes, eggs and other vegetables. The leaves can be harvested until temperatures drop into the low 20's--and they can also be dried. The leaves are high in vitamins A and C, potassium, iron, copper and manganese. Unlike some other herbs, parsley can be grown in partial shade. Many cooks and gardeners like to grow parsley in containers near a door so they can step outside and snip some fresh leaves. 45 DAYS
