Persil
Petroselinum crispum
Une herbe bisannuelle méditerranéenne de la famille des Apiaceae (carotte), cultivée comme annuelle pour ses feuilles. Le « ver de persil » — la chenille du papillon machaon d'Amérique (Papilio polyxenes) — se nourrit exclusivement du feuillage des Apiaceae ; planter du persil est l'un des moyens les plus simples d'accueillir une population pérenne de machaons. Les sélections à feuilles plates (italiennes) ont une saveur plus prononcée que les sélections frisées.

Cold hardiness
Future
This plant is grown as an annual; hardiness zones don't apply.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
