Organic Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) Seeds

Characteristics:

  • Biennial, often grown as an annual
  • Height: 30cm

Growing schedule: Sow indoors in pots in March or direct outside from April to June for harvesting later in the same year. Sow in July and August either in a polytunnel or outdoors for overwintering plants that will flower the following spring. Plants grown outside may require some protection from the elements over the winter months.

Sowing depth: Cover only very lightly with soil as chervil seeds need light to germinate.

Planting distance: 30 x 10cm.

Growing conditions: Chervil prefers partial shade and moist, fairly rich, well-draining soil. Keep well-watered in hot, dry weather as it has a tendency to bolt.

Number of seeds: Each packet contains approximately 1100 organic seeds, enough to cover 10m².
