Description

The Pimpinelle has finely feathered leaves that taste subtly of cucumber and nut, making it a perfect addition to Frankfurt's green sauce. This hardy, evergreen perennial provides fresh green foliage even in mild winters.

Care instructions

Plant Pimpinelle in a sunny spot with well‑draining, calcareous soil; it tolerates dry conditions well. Harvest young, tender leaves regularly and remove flower heads to encourage fresh growth. The plant will readily self‑seed in suitable locations.
