Is this parsley or something else?

[Inastate]

I planted some parsley and basil in roughly the area this came up, and figured it was the parsley as they do look alike. It has a strong herby smell but the leaves are quite bitter and don't taste like parsley.

Any ideas? Variety is 'Parsley, Flat Leaf: Italian Giant'. My mother thought it might be Feverfew.

Doesn't look quite right for parsley to me - the stalks are usually greener and there's a long piece of stalk between where they branch off and where the leaves start.

Looks like feverfew. Mum's are always right.

I grow Gigante and it doesn't look like that. I agree with VC and yer ma!

Yes Feverfew, supposed to be good for headaches.

Yep Feverfew.
I used to use it for my migraines but it is soooo bitter

p.s. a few sites claim you can make a pesticide out of the flowers but I've never tried it.

Damn - I nurtured that plant!

Oh well, relegated to the compost bin.


Thanks people!

Definitely feverfew. Great herb.

Feverfew, good herb, pretty flowers. It soothes the itching from insect bites if you rub it on the bite, and also helps keeps midges away if you rub it on your skin, or on garden chairs where you're sitting for instance. Does smell a bit strong though.

I've been trying to grow feverfew with no luck :-(
