Parsley, Menuette
Description: Menuette Parsley is a compact, finely curled biennial herb prized for its dense, vibrant green foliage and mild, fresh flavor. Smaller and more uniform than traditional curly varieties, Menuette forms tidy mounds that make it ideal for borders, raised beds, and container gardens. Its bright, frilly leaves add both texture and flavor to dishes, making it a beautiful and functional staple in any kitchen garden.
Wildlife Benefits: Like other parsley varieties, Menuette serves as a host plant for black swallowtail butterfly caterpillars, supporting pollinator lifecycles. When allowed to flower in its second year, it attracts beneficial insects such as bees and hoverflies.
Medicinal Benefits: Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with powerful antioxidants, parsley has been traditionally used to support digestion, kidney function, and overall vitality. The fresh leaves can be added to meals for nutrient density or brewed into gentle herbal infusions.
Native Status: Native to the Mediterranean region, parsley thrives in Georgia’s climate and performs beautifully in garden beds, raised planters, and patio containers.
Pollinator Friendliness: Though typically harvested for its leaves, Menuette Parsley produces delicate yellow-green flower clusters in its second year that provide nectar for bees and beneficial insects.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 8–12 inches
Spacing: 8–12 inches
Sun/Shade: Prefers Full Sun to Partial Shade
How to Grow: Menuette Parsley grows best in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Harvest outer stems regularly to promote bushy growth and steady leaf production. As a biennial, it will flower in its second year—remove flower stalks to extend leaf harvest or allow it to set seed for natural reseeding.
Bring fresh flavor, nutrient density, and pollinator support to your garden with Menuette Parsley — a compact, easy-to-grow herb that’s as ornamental as it is essential.
Available in 2.5 inch pots
