Parsley is technically a biennial plant so it grows in its first season and then sends up flowers its second season. Therefore, parsley is usually treated as an annual and is pulled up and discarded after one year. Once parsley starts to flower, it is setting seed and dies.
One tip to help parsley last longer: Do not just harvest and clip off the tops. When you harvest, snip the stalks close to the ground. That way, new growth is encouraged throughout the pruning season.
