Description

Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium), often called French Parsley, is a delicate, fine-leafed culinary herb revered in traditional French cuisine as a key component of fines herbes. Featuring lace-like green foliage with a subtle, anise-like flavor combining sweet licorice and parsley notes, it brings refinement to light sauces, egg dishes, seafood, and fresh salads. A cool-season favorite that thrives in spring and autumn gardens.
