Chervil (3.5" pot)
Annual. An attractive herb that is just as suitable for an ornamental bed as it is for the kitchen. The flavour is parsley-like with a hint of liquorice, making it a classic pairing for potatoes, eggs, white fish, and chicken. It is also used for soups, salads, and vegetable dishes. Best flavour is attained when fresh leaves are added at the end of cooking time. Freeze for long-storage, as drying kills the flavour.
In the garden it acts as a trap crop for slugs. It is a good companion for Brassicas, lettuce, radishes, and dill. Plants are easy to grow and require little maintenance. Watering in dry weather will prevent bolting. Remove plants once they begin to flower, as the leaves become inedible. Plants grow best in rich, moist soil with some shade.
Harvest: As needed, before bolting.
Plant Height: 10-16”
Plant Spacing: 6-9”
