Description
Chervil is an annual culinary plant that grows 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20in) tall, with finely cut leaves and long petioles at the base. Parsley is appreciated for its medicinal properties and its delicate aroma and slightly aniseed flavour. Sowing can be done from February to September for a harvest 4 to 6 weeks later.
Chervil, also known as hedge parsley or French parsley, has been known since the beginning of the Christian era. Its cultivation developed from the Middle Ages.
Originally from the Middle East, common parsley is cultivated for its appetising, purifying, diuretic, and stimulating properties. It contains vitamin C as well as trace elements. In cooking, the raw, finely chopped leaves flavour raw vegetables, salads, soups, many vegetables, sauces, stews, roasted meats, grilled dishes, and certain fish.
Chervil requires a compost addition at the end of autumn or the beginning of spring, at a rate of 3 kg per m². It prefers healthy, humus-rich, moist, well-aerated, and light soils. It can be grown in open ground as well as in pots.
Harvest: Leaves can be harvested from April to September by cutting them close to the ground according to daily needs.
Storage: For winter, chervil can be preserved by hanging the stems in a dry place. However, drying it causes it to lose some of its flavour. Freezing seems to be a preferable method.
Gardener's tip: Chervil likes the sun in spring, but it quickly flowers in summer when it is too exposed. The trick is to associate it with a few plants that can provide shade when needed.

Planting and care
Sowing
Seeds are sown from February to early September, in rows spaced 20 cm (8in) apart. In a flat furrow that is 5 cm (2in) wide and 2 cm (1in) deep, the seeds are placed. It is important not to sow too densely, and the seeds are covered with a little fine soil. The rows are then lightly compacted with the back of the rake. Germination takes about 8 days.
When the young plants have 4 or more leaves, thin them to 10 cm (4in) apart in the row.
Parsley can be sown by broadcast sowing, but in this case, weeding and hoeing are difficult. It can also be sown on a warm bed, under a cold frame, until October for winter consumption.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
