Description
Chervil common (Anthriscus cerefolium) is part of the 'fines herbes', along with parsley, chives, and tarragon, ideal for enhancing salads, soups, or sauces. Its finely cut flat leaves have a slight hint of anise. This aromatic plant is grown in the vegetable garden or in a pot and prefers a semi-shaded exposure. Plant it in spring or summer and harvest from April to October.
Chervil, also known as garden chervil, medicinal chervil, and hedge parsley, is an aromatic plant from the Apiaceae family (formerly Umbelliferae). Chervil is part of the 'fines herbes' (along with parsley, chives, and tarragon) and is cultivated for its leaves, which have a light anise flavour. In cooking, the fresh finely chopped leaves add flavour to raw vegetables and salads. For hot dishes (vegetables, roasted meats, fish, soups, etc.), add the leaves at the end of cooking to preserve its flavour.
Chervil is grown in the vegetable garden or in a pot. Its height can range from 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24in). It prefers moist, light, and fairly humus-rich soils. Prefer a semi-shaded exposure.
Harvest: Cut the leaves at ground level, according to your needs. The harvest takes place from April to October. In summer, chervil produces pretty white flowers in umbels, but it is advisable to pinch the flower stalks to promote leaf growth.
Storage: To fully enjoy their aroma, chervil leaves should be consumed fresh as soon as possible. For long-term storage, you can freeze them. Chervil leaves are sometimes dried (by hanging the stems in a dry place), but drying reduces their fragrance.
Gardener's tip: Chervil likes the sun in spring, but it quickly flowers in summer when it is too exposed. You can associate it with some plants that will provide shade during their growth in summer, such as tomatoes, for example.

Planting and care
Chervil appreciates damp, light and fairly humus-rich soils. Prefer a semi-shaded exposure. Chervil is planted in spring and summer, from March to August.
In open ground: Dig a hole (3 times the volume of the root ball). Add compost to the bottom of the hole. Place the root ball and cover with soil, compact. Water to keep the soil moist. Space the plants 10 cm (4in) apart in rows and 20 cm (8in) between rows.
In a pot: place gravel or clay balls at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of 1/3 compost, 1/3 sand, 1/3 garden soil. Place the root ball and fill with the mixture, compact. Water to keep the soil moist.
During cultivation, water moderately, mainly in case of drought.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
