Anthriscus cerefolium
Chervil Vertissimo is an annual that grows to about 61 cm (24") tall. It has light green leaves that resemble finely cut parsley. White flowers are produced on flat heads. The leaves have a hint of licorice flavor. The delicate flavor disappears in cooking so add it just prior to serving. Chervil likes to grow in a cool season. Chervil serves as an excellent companion plant for carrots and radishes and is reported to make radishes hotter and crisper when grown near it . It also grows well with cilantro/coriander and dill, making them an ideal grouping for containers. It has also been reported to protect lettuces from aphids and other insects when companion planted. Leaves have a mild, sweet anise flavor. It is popular for using in salads, micro greens, and garnishing. Chervil's flowers are also edible, and used to garnish salads as well. Flavor is of mild licorice. Chervil is quite a hardy plant once established.

Additional Information
Chervil is easy to grow from seed, but it requires cool, moist conditions. In hot weather or dry soil, the plants will bolt (flower and set seed) rather than produce lush leaves for harvest. Try to grow chervil during the coolest part of your growing season. Also, a semi-shaded location between other plants can help shield chervil from the heat of midsummer sun. |
