Parsley grows just about everywhere. It's resistant to cold weather, but don't like dry and too hot places. If you live in an arid area rather grow them in a courtyard where they are shielded from the worst sun or keep them well watered in the herb patch as they wilt quite quickly during hot months. To keep the soil from drying out in summer pack used (cooled) teabags around the parsley or chips of bark. As long as they are kept well hydrated (not over watered) you should be able to grow parsley successfully.
