Product Description
Mr Fothergill’s Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) is a traditional culinary herb valued for its subtle, slightly aniseed flavour. A staple in French cuisine, it enhances salads, soups, omelettes and sauces with a gentle, fresh taste.
As a half-hardy annual, chervil is simple to grow and thrives in pots on patios, windowsills or in garden beds. You don’t need a large garden to enjoy fresh herbs – a small container in a bright spot will provide a steady supply of tender green leaves.
Sow indoors at any time of year for continuous harvesting, or sow outdoors from March to July. With harvesting possible year-round when grown indoors, this versatile herb ensures fresh flavour whenever you need it.
