Description

The listing, Chervil 100 seed has ended.

Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) is a cool season annual and grows about 12 inches tall, 6 inches wide. Grow in shade or part shade.

Prepare soil, water, lightly sprinkle seeds over a bed, top with the thinnest layer of soil mix, then lightly firm the soil by gently by pressing my hand on to the soil.

Chervil seeds will germinate in between 7 and 14 days. Make this one of your earliest spring plantings. Plant again in two week and then two weeks later to stretch the short season.

The herb will not survive the first heat wave. Sow in the spring then again in August for a fall crop.
The tiny white flowers and leaves have a very mild aniseed taste. In French cuisine, it is one of the four herbs, along with chives, tarragon, and parsley, which make up “fines herbes”. Chervil is used, particularly in France, to season poultry, seafood, young spring vegetables.

Chervil is best when used fresh. Snip new leaves for the strongest flavor. Dried chervil is tasteless. You can preserve chervil in vinegar (suggest a good quality white wine vinegar) or butter, which can be frozen.

Chervil is a companion plant for carrots and radishes. It also grows well with cilantro/coriander and dill. It is a very delicate flavored plant and best used fresh.

Using chervil in the kitchen is usually the privilege of the home gardener. Sow in the spring then again in August for a fall crop.
