Parsley likes hot, dry weather. I grow it in the heat of Dallas and water it once a week and it grows like crazy.

I grow it every year and my plants this time of year are fading quickly as it gets hotter. I've never been able to have parsley in the ground during our summer months in New Orleans and even in pots where it can be kept out the direct evening sunlight, it doesn't do well. And I've grown both curly leaf and flat leaf varieties over the years.

Now, sweet basil, mint and rosemary LOVE the summer heat and grow faster than I can use it.
