Chervil *NEW*

£3.00

GROWN IN SCOTLAND by Seeds of Scotland


Anthriscus cerefolium ~ approx. 250 seeds


Chervil, sometimes called French parsley, is a hardy biennial closely related to parsley. Compact plants produce light green feathery leaves which have a refreshing aniseed flavour. If allowed to flower, you will be treated to a lovely display of delicate, tiny white flowers. Chervil is a tasty addition to salads, omelettes and fish. 

Harvest as a cut-and-come-again crop throughout the winter and early spring.


Growing Info:

Sowing: Late Jul-Sep. We like to sow ours later in the year as it is well suited to growing overwinter due to its hardiness. For overwintering, sow in late July to August for outside in a relatively sheltered, free-draining spot. Sow until September if growing undercover. 

Spacing: 20-25cm

Harvest: Oct-Apr, 10 weeks from sowing.

 

Germination: 80% Aug 2025

What our customers say

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

Lisa, Bridge of Allan

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Laura, North Kessock

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

Susanne, Isle of Lewis

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

Gay, Moray

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

Janey, Highlands

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been.
Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.
