Mr Fothergill's Herb Seeds Chervil Simple - 1,000 Seeds

Chervil Simple Seeds from Mr Fothergill's Seeds and Plants.

A touch of aniseed. Easy to grow, one of the classic 'fine herbs'. Delicate flavour, known as 'gourmet' parsley.

Herbs are so easy – you don’t even need a garden! Just a few in pots on the patio or windowsill will add that little extra to a dish.

Sow & Grow:

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-July, where they are to crop, 0.5cm (¼") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered.

Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8") apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous supply, make sowings at two to three week intervals.

Or to grow indoors all year round, sow thinly 0.5cm (¼") deep, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Plants can be grown on a light windowsill.

Harvest: Indoor crops all year round, outdoor crops from May.

Pick a few leaves, as required, from each plant so that they regrow quickly.

They may be dried or frozen, but for best flavour, use fresh.

Hints & Tips:

The distinctive flavour is particularly delicious in egg dishes and makes an excellent herb butter for fish, potatoes, or asparagus.
