Parsley can withstand the occasional light frost, so long as its roots
don't freeze it will be fine. Parsley is a biennial, it'll even
survive one hard winter and come up the second year but will be very
bitter, unusable culinarilly... there is no such thing as a parsley
bed, sow parsley fresh every year.
