Petroselinum crispum 'Titan' is a fast-growing variety of parsley that bears flat, wide, smooth, and divided leaves. Its aroma is more subtle than the typical variety. It can be harvested from April until the first frost, and even longer if grown in a pot. Sow the seeds from February to September.
Combine it with garlic and olive oil and you get the famous persillade that can enliven any vegetable dish. Always have a pot of parsley on hand for your culinary needs.
Parsley is an aromatic herb, used as a condiment. It is also a medicinal plant. It is rich in vitamins, trace elements, and minerals. Its very high content of vitamins C and A is particularly noteworthy: 100g of parsley contains four times more vitamin C than 100g of an orange, and four times the daily recommended dose of vitamin A. It is a stimulant for the nervous system, effectively fights against anaemia, and has detoxifying properties.
It is not surprising that parsley symbolised strength in ancient Greece and was revered by the Romans, who introduced it to many countries in the Empire. It fell out of favour in the Middle Ages, where it was associated with the devil. The explanation probably lies in the somewhat unpredictable germination of the plant. This biennial plant, native to the Near East, is cultivated as an annual, unless one wishes to let it go to seed and harvest the seeds. It then produces umbels of tiny yellowish-green to white flowers. The leaves contain essential oils and release a fragrant aroma when crushed. They are a vibrant green, divided into three deeply lobed leaflets. Parsley can sometimes be confused with the small hemlock - a toxic plant - whose leaves are similar but emit a foul odour. Tuberous parsley, on the other hand, is cultivated for both its taproot and foliage. Parsley plants can reach a height of 60cm (24in).
It is often included in bouquet garni along with thyme, bay leaf, and rosemary. It is also frequently used as a decorative element on dishes.
Harvest: harvesting generally takes place three months after sowing. Cut directly with scissors or pinch off as needed in the kitchen. This stimulates the plant and encourages new shoots. It is useful to have your herbs on hand, in pots on the windowsill or nearby in the garden.
Storage: parsley is best consumed fresh. However, it freezes very well. To do this, wash the cut stems and let them dry thoroughly. Gather the stems into bundles and place them in a freezer bag. This way, you can keep it throughout winter and use it as needed. If you prefer to let it dry, wash the stems, carefully wipe them dry, and then hang them upside down in a dry place. When the stems become brittle, crumble them and transfer them to an airtight container.
Gardener's tip: parsley is said to enhance the fragrance of roses. To ward off carrot fly, which also loves parsley, plant them at the base of lavender plants to drive them away. Radishes and parsley have a synergistic effect, while the presence of parsley inhibits the growth of celeriac.

Botanical data
Preparing the sowing
Before sowing parsley, prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of a few cm and carefully weeding it. Parsley needs a lot of moisture to grow. Water the soil generously or soak the seeds for 24 hours before sowing. It adapts to all types of soil, but prefers light soils rich in humus.
Sowing in open ground
Parsley seeds can be sown directly in open ground from April to September. The seeds need a lot of moisture to germinate. Sow thinly in water-soaked soil and cover with 0.5cm of special sowing compost. Firmly press down. Water again. To maintain constant moisture, the sown area can be covered with a fabric that will be watered. Germination can take up to a month.
Transplanting
When your parsley plants are strong enough, take one or two of your sowings from the garden. Place some gravel at the bottom of a pot to facilitate drainage. Loosen the roots if necessary and adjust the root ball in its new container, filling it with moistened compost. Place your parsley in a sunny or semi-shaded location.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
