A delicate elegant spring herb, chervil is easy to grow and prefers the cooler weather earlier and later in the year. It grows much better in light shade away from the direct heat of the sunand when the weather really warms up in July it produces thick flowering stemsat the expense of the leaves.As a hardy annual, once flowering it won’t produce more leaves, but the seeds can be harvested once ripe and sown the following spring.
