Anthriscus Cereifolium - Chervil |
 |
| Characteristics:
Resembles
parsley with light green leaves and umbrella-like clusters of white flowers
on stems up to 2 feet high. You can find both curly and flat leaf forms. Growing Information: Thrives in cool, mild weather - bolts in the heat. Space plants 6 to 12 inches apart in moist, fertile soil and light shade. Fertilize in early and midsummer with fish emulsion. Grow indoors in the winter. Propagation: Sow seeds shallowly in early spring or summer for a fall crop. Plants may bolt if you try to move them. Harvesting and Using: Use fresh leaves as you would parsley. Freeze leaves to preserve mild flavor; dried chervil has little flavor. |
