Flowering season.

 

Plant container plants

From Mid Spring TO Early Summer

Propagation by Seed

From Late Winter TO Mid Spring

Parsley is a slow germinator, so get ahead by sowing seeds in pots indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frosts. To aid germination, soak the seeds in water overnight before sowing. For sowing outdoors, sow seeds in rich moist soil about 3 weeks before the last Spring frosts.
