Chervil - Key Growing Information
DAYS TO GERMINATION:
About 10–14 days.
SOWING:
Sowing in place is recommended. In early spring, sow shallowly at 1–2 seeds per inch and cover only barely, because light aids germination. Thin to 6" apart in rows 12" or more apart. A fall sowing about 60 days before the first expected frost also works. For transplants, start seed in spring roughly 8 weeks before the last frost. Press it into the mix or cover with just a dusting of vermiculite, since it needs light. Move seedlings into cell flats once they're big enough to handle, and plant out after the last frost, 6" apart in rows 12" apart.
LIGHT PREFERENCE:
Full sun to partial shade; hot weather makes plants bolt.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Does best in rich soil that stays moist.
PLANT HEIGHT:
10-16".
PLANT SPACING:
6" apart.
HARDINESS ZONES:
Grown as an annual.
HARVEST:
Flavor peaks just before flowering, so harvest leaves then. Use them fresh or dried.
SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Anthriscus cerefolium
