8. How to Harvest Parsley?
Timing Methods Cutting
Leave Growth Storage Regrowth
Harvest parsley once it reaches 6 to 8
inches tall, allowing young plants time
to establish.
Choose selective harvesting or whole
plant harvest, depending on your
needs.
Use sharp scissors or shears to cut
stems just above the main stem or
ground level.
When selectively harvesting, leave
some leaves for continued growth to
avoid stressing the plant.
Rinse parsley under cold water,
pat dry, and store in the fridge for
up to a week or freeze for longer-
term storage.
Parsley is biennial; after harvesting, it
will continue to grow, allowing for
multiple harvests throughout the
season.
