- Elizabeth D.CA, United StatesVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars10/26/25So Much Parsley!
I planted grew four plants and there was just so much parsley. It's been producing all summer long and is still producing. I have dried a lot. I have much more than my family of three can use that I make my friends take fresh or dried when they come to visit.

Thank you so much for this fantastic 5-star review! "So much parsley" from just four plants and having it "producing all summer long and is still producing" is exactly what we love to hear about Moss Curled Parsley Seeds - and we absolutely love that you've had such an abundant harvest that you're sharing the wealth with friends and family!
Ha! We love that you've become the neighborhood parsley supplier - having so much fresh and dried parsley that you're sending friends home with bundles sounds like the best kind of problem to have! There's nothing quite like that continuous harvest throughout the entire growing season, and it's so smart that you're drying the excess to preserve all that amazing flavor for later use!
Your incredible productivity success and generous sharing experience will be so inspiring for other gardeners who want to discover just how rewarding and prolific Moss Curled Parsley Seeds can be for creating those amazing season-long harvests that keep on giving!
Keep on growing 🌻️

I have been shopping c you for many years. You always have seeds that other vendors don't have. The parsley I ordered is delicious, but truth be told, I grow this plant to attract beneficial insects and to help the butterflies. Keep up the good work!! Thank you! Maureen

Germinated fine, tastes great, harder to clean but easier to dry because they don't lay flat
