Mr Fothergills Chervil Simple 1000 Seeds

Chervil - Simple

Chervil is easy to grow and one of the classic 'fine herbs'. It has a delicate flavour, and is also known as 'gourmet' parsley.

Sow thinly outdoors from March to July, where they are to crop, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin seedlings to 20cm apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous supply, make sowings at two to three week intervals. Or to grow indoors all year round, sow thinly 0.5cm deep, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Plants can be grown on a light windowsill. Harvest from indoor crops all year round, or outdoor crops from May. Pick a few leaves, as required, from each plant so that they regrow quickly. They may be dried or frozen, but for best flavour, use fresh.
