PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS Much like other herbs, Chervil grows well in a rich loamy and moist soil. Direct sun can cause the plant to bolt. Hence, it is best to grow Chervil in partial shade. Sow the seeds ½ to ¼ inch deep in well-draining soil. The roots of the plant are rather delicate, therefore, it’s best to directly sow the seeds where it is to be grown in the garden. Chervil is also a great herb for growing in containers. GROWING REQUIREMENTS PESTS Common garden pests like aphids, snails, can attack the leaves. The best remedy for all these is regular check-up and manual removal of affected parts. In addition, direct sun can cause Chervil plants to bolt and go to flowering and seeding. Keeping the plant away from direct sunlight and maintaining soil moisture is key to avoid the issue of bolting. SOIL Rich loamy soil with pH ranging between 5.5 to 7.0. A point to remember is to keep the soil constantly moist. Work up fresh compost to encourage ideal growth. SPOT Chervil must be planted in partial sunlight since full sun during the summers can cause the plant to bolt. TEMPERATURE Ideal germination temperature for Chervil seeds should range between 15 to 20℃ WATERING Regular watering is essential for growing Chervil properly. Hot and dry conditions can induce premature bolting or cause the plant to die. HOW TO HARVEST Chervil leaves will become ready for harvest in about 8 to 9 weeks after sowing. Since Chervil can lose it’s pungency very quickly, it’s best to harvest the leaves just prior to consumption. In case you want to preserve the harvested herb, it’s better to freeze it, instead of drying the herb to retain some of its flavours.
