Growing Directions

• Season: Grow chervil during the cool seasons of spring and fall. Protect it from intense heat to help delay bolting.
• Light: Provide morning sun or partial shade, especially in warmer climates.
• Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Keep the soil evenly moist.
• Sowing: Sow seeds shallowly, about ¼ inch deep, and avoid disturbing the fine roots after emergence.
• Spacing: Thin seedlings so plants have enough room for airflow and repeated leaf harvests.
• Succession planting: Sow small batches at intervals during the cool season for a steady supply of young leaves.
• Harvest: Pick outer leaves as needed and use them fresh. Harvest flower heads promptly if you want to encourage more tender foliage.
