Chervil is an heirloom herb that was most likely introduced to European herb gardening by the Romans. This popular culinary herb, closely related to Parsley, has become an indispensable herb plant in the kitchen, and a classic among herb plants in French Cuisine. Chervil produces flat, light-green, lacy leaves with a hint of anise, and enhances the flavor of chicken, fish, vegetables, eggs and salads. A sprig in a bottle of white wine vinegar will transform your salads!
Because Chervil goes to bolt quickly once the summer heats up, it's best to plant in a partially shady, moist but not wet, area to slow bolting.
Chervil makes a great companion herb plant in any container, and produces tiny white flowers in mid-summer.
