Winter Chervil Herb Growing Habits
Non-GMO (Anthriscus cerefolium) Winter Chervil plants grow as upright annual herbs that are slightly more hardy than other chervil varieties. During the cooler conditions of late spring to early summer, your Winter Chervil crop will begin to produce their thin forest-green leaves that give off a mildly sweet aroma. Winter Chervil can reach 10-15" tall and develop a flavor similar to tarragon and anise. As Chervil herbs lose flavor with time, don't wait too long unless you want your Winter Chervil to flower and go to see. Your hardy and fresh Winter Chervil Herbs will be fully-mature for either a spring or fall harvest.
The Culinary Benefits of Winter Chervil Herb Garden Seed
As Winter Chervil reigns as one of the four popular "fines herbes" of French cuisine, the forest-green abundant leaves are best used fresh fresh or near the end of your cooking process such as when paired with a potato, carrot and meat dish. This type of leafy annual herb can also enhance flavor when used as a garnish. The edible flowers of Winter Chervil make a mildly sweet and anise-flavored addition to salads or drinks. Chervil also makes a lovely aroma when added to soups or paired with fish. Winter Chervil is a bright infusion to make vinegars or sauces with as well! This herb is easy to freeze and can be stored throughout winter.
The Gardening Benefits of Winter Chervil Herb Seed
