Pet safety guideAbout Chervil
Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) is a delicate cool-season annual herb with lacy, fern-like leaves and a mild anise flavor. In NE Florida it performs best sown in fall through early spring in partial shade, as summer heat causes rapid bolting.

Care essentials
Chervil prefers partial to dappled shade, especially important in NE Florida where it must be grown as a cool-season crop (fall through early spring) — morning sun with afternoon shade extends harvest before summer heat causes bolting.
Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained; chervil needs about one inch of water per week and will bolt quickly if stressed by drought or heat in NE Florida's climate.
Grow in rich, moist, slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0–6.7) well-drained soil; chervil has low fertilizer needs — minimal organic amendment at planting is sufficient, and over-fertilizing reduces leaf flavor.
