Parsley as an Ornamental Plant

If you grow/use parsley for...

• its taste,
• as a remedy,
• or cosmetic uses,

dark-green, longer-stemmed flat leaf (Italian) parsley is the best.

For garnishing, curly leaf with its bright-green color is preferred.

But just like other herbs, parsley also has several ornamental uses.

More compact, bright-green curly leaf with shorter stems makes an excellent edging for the borders of flower beds.

Worth a try?


Either variety can be grown in a flower bed. Parsley's greenery provides an excellent background for the flowering species of herbs and flowers.
