I just did a search and read that Parsley is a biennial plant. Mine has been growing back every year now and it has foliage once again currently. I planted it in the container garden as a young plant in early Spring of 2010. This is the 4th Winter as it was probably started from seed in the Winter of 2010 before I bought it from the nursery. It does not appear to have spread, it looks like the same old plant with new leaves every year. Go figure! It has never flowered because the caterpillars eat it down to soil level. I wonder if that is why it has never flowered and the foliage comes back every year? I bet if it were to eventually produce flowers and seeds that it would then die. I don't really know, but it is very unusual!
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
