Chervil, which is visually very similar to parsley and cilantro, differs from these herbs in many respects. For example, there is his preference in terms of location…
Well kept – in partial shade
Chervil prefers to grow in a partial shade location. Grow it ideally in a sheltered position . It makes the following demands on the soil:
- deep
- rich in humus and nutrients
- loose
- evenly moist
Caution: Chervil prefers to grow in moist soil. However, waterlogging damages its fine root system. On the other hand, dryness challenges it. Especially if you keep chervil in a pot, you should regularly check the moisture content of the soil with the ‘finger test’.
Tips & Tricks
Already at sowing, it is recommended to put the seeds of chervil in a soil enriched with compost.
