Description
Tuberous chervil is a 30 cm tall biennial vegetable. It is grown for its swollen, conical roots, which resemble a short, greyish carrot. Its flesh is white, slightly mealy and sweet, with a taste reminiscent of hazelnuts. It is used cooked in juice, stewed or raw like radishes. Sow in November and harvest 6 months later.
The cultivation of tuberous chervil dates back to antiquity in Eastern Europe. It was introduced to France in the middle of the 19th century. It is prepared in the same way as potatoes and has diuretic and nutritional properties. It contains vitamins A, B and C and mineral salts.
Tuberous chervil requires a well-rotted manure (3 kg/m²) in early spring.
Harvesting: Harvest in July. Pull them up and leave them to dry on the ground after cutting off the leaves.
Storage: Store in a dry cellar away from light.
Gardener's tip: Tuberous chervil will be more fragrant if eaten a few months after harvesting (in November).

Planting and care
Sowing in November:
The seeds of the tuberous chervil should be sown in rows spaced 20 cm (8in) apart. Cover them with a little fine soil or compost, firm down with the back of a rake. It is advisable to sow quite thinly, thinning out every 10 cm (4in).
Maintenance:
Weeding and hoeing are necessary. Keep the soil sufficiently moist 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).
