distribution_en:

description_en: Genus of 3 species of biennials, with thick rootstocks, occurring in fallow fields and on rocky slopes and waste ground in Mediterranean Europe. The solid, ridged stems bear triangular, pinnate to 3-pinnate, mid-green leaves with toothed leaflets. Terminal, compound umbels of tiny, star-shaped, white or greenish yellow flowers, some-times tinged red, are produced in the second year, followed by small, ovoid fruits. P. crispum (parsley) is grown as a culinary flavouring or garnish, and is widely naturalized in temperate regions; many cultivars are available. Parsley is usually grown as an annual, as the leaves become coarser in the second year. The tuberous-rooted Hamburg parsley (P. crispum var. tuberosum) is used as a root vegetable. Grow in a herb garden.

hardiness_en: Fully hardy.
