This Herb Stands Up to Winter
(Via washingtonpost.com - A Cook's Garden by Barbara Damrosch)
I used to think that parsley was especially prone to winter predation by rabbits or deer. As its growth slowed in cold weather, something would always nibble it to the ground. Because it is very cold-hardy, the bright green foliage normally would persist in the garden long after most crops had succumbed to winter, and the plants sometimes have still been there in spring.
