Traditional French heirloom variety. Curly leaves look soft and thin a little bit like parsley. A delicate parsley-like plant with a hint of licorice aroma. Its delicate flavour disappears when cooked so add it just prior to serving or add raw leaves fresh to salads. Chervil likes to grow in partial shade and cool-season. Direct-sow chervil seeds in spring or late summer. Harvest flowers just before they open, and harvest foliage before flowering begins. If allowed to flower and go to seed, it may self sow.
