Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) Herb in 9cm Pot
Anthriscus cerefolium, or Chervil is known as one of the 'fines herbes' with a delicate aniseed flavour. SOmetimes it is also called garden chervil or French Parsley although it is originally from Asia, Europe and North Africa and has been grown as a culinary herb for centuries. Chervil needs a shady moist position, and prefers light rich soils. It will happily grow in a container in semi-shade, although will require midday shade. The plant itself has fine, fern-like delicate leaves, and can produce a large plant (1-2ft) when fully grown. Tiny white flowers appear in Summer.
Herb Usage
Used in all manner of dishes, the leaves are particularly complementary to eggs, potatoes and fish. Due to the delicate nature of the herb, it is best added at the end of cooking, and when used in salads, it lifts a simple green salad to new heights, and is particularly pretty as a garnish.
Storing Chervil is only recommended if the leaves are frozen immediately after picking, as this locks in the subtle flavours.

growing beautifully
The bad weather and hailstorms have prevented me planting the five plants I bought so they are still protected with their plastic propagators. However , I have been cutting some every day and it is delicious and the plants are very healthy. The order came the next day, very pleased. I used Hooks Green many years ago and many of the herbs are still surviving, a great nursery
