P. crispum var. Neapolitanum has a flatter leaf than the more well known curly parsley. It is called "flat parsley" or "Italian parsley". It has a stronger flavour but is less attractive as a garden plant or a table decoration or garnish.
P. crispum var. crispum is known as "Curled parsley". It's curly leaves makes it better as a garnish, but it's taste is milder than Italian parsley
P. crispun var. Tuberosum (Hamburg Parsley) has a larger root which is cooked as a vegetable and has a celery like flavour.
Snails and other pests will sometimes eat the leaves. Rabbits and other animals will graze on parsley as well. They may not kill plants, but they can strip the foliage. This is more likely if grass and other plants which they might graze on, is scarce.
Poor drainage and excess water can cause roots to rot.
