OSC Herb Seeds Chervil Pkg.

Approximately 225 seeds/package (400 seeds/gram)

Chervil seeds produce a plant with aromatic, finely cut, bright green leaves that are used in salads and as a seasoning. Chervil is used in the ‘fines herb’ mixture made famous by French cuisine. When chervil is used alone, it is best with cold dishes or just prior to presentation of cooked foods. In the garden, chervil is sometimes used as a decoy plant for slugs and other garden pests. Grows 50-100 cm in height. Chervil may grow adventively where sun exposure and moisture conditions are relatively constant year-over-year.  Annual. 

As this plant develops, a tap root develops. It is best to sow seed directly outdoors in a site with bright, indirect light with average soil. Seed should be sown in early May, and a second crop can be sown again in August through to early September. Do not cover the seed with soil. Seed can also be started indoors in a plantable container filled with soil-less mix 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Keep the temperature at 21° C for the 7-10 day germination period, then grow at a slightly cooler temperature before hardening off and transplanting outside, after the danger of frost has passed. Thin or space plants to 25 cm apart in the garden.
