Curled Chervil Growing Advice

Sowing Indoors

• You can sow chervil indoors, in a greenhouse or on a bright windowsill.  We prefer to sow directly into module trays to avoid disturbing the plant's root system when you eventually pot them on.  Sow the seeds 1cm deep and cover lightly with growing medium.  When they are large enough to handle they can be potted into larger pots.  Indoor-sown chervil plants should be hardened off after the last frost date and moved outside before their root system becomes too established.
• Alternatively, Chervil can be sown directly into larger containers on the windowsill and grown on to maturity.

Sowing Outdoors

• Chervil can be sown directly outside from late spring onwards. Sow the seeds 1cm deep, covered lightly in a lightly shaded position - this is important to prevent premature flowering of your plants.  As the seedlings emerge they can be gradually thinned to 15cm spacing.

Ongoing care and harvest

• Keep your outdoor chervil plants watered during warm weather.
• Cut back regularly to promote fresh growth.
