In addition to its culinary uses, chervil is also an important component of the traditional French herb mixture known as fines herbes, along with tarragon, chives, and parsley. Unlike stronger herbs like thyme or rosemary, which are used in dishes that require longer cooking times, fines herbes are typically added at the end of cooking to preserve their fresh, mild flavor. This makes chervil an ideal addition to salads, omelettes, and soups, where its subtle flavor shines through.
Chervil plants grow to a height of 40–70 cm (16–28 inches), featuring tripinnate (finely divided) leaves that are sometimes curly, giving them a feathery appearance. The small white flowers form delicate umbels that are about 2.5–5 cm (1–2 inches) across, making them visually appealing in the garden. The fruit is a small, oblong-ovoid shape, about 1 cm long, with a slender, ridged beak. These flowers and fruits are particularly attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Chervil also has a long history in folk medicine. It has been used to aid digestion, lower blood pressure, and as a mild stimulant. Some even infused it with vinegar to treat hiccups. However, it’s important to note that some people may experience phytophotodermatitis, or skin irritation from contact with the plant, especially after exposure to sunlight.
When it comes to cultivation, chervil prefers cool, moist conditions and grows best in the early spring or fall. It is often planted in cool-season gardens or even in a winter greenhouse. Chervil has a long taproot, which makes transplanting a bit difficult, so it’s best to direct sow seeds in place. Regular harvesting of the leaves can help prevent the plant from "bolting," or prematurely going to seed, which can make the leaves turn bitter and reduce their quality. If your plants bolt despite efforts, re-sowing can help provide fresh growth throughout the season.
For those growing chervil in gardens, it makes a beautiful addition with its feathery, lacy foliage, delicate flowers, and easy-to-grow nature. It’s perfect for herb gardens, window boxes, or as a companion plant for vegetables like carrots.
