Chervil

Perennial or Annual: Annual
Best Season to Plant: Spring or fall
Best Place to Plant: Full sun to light shade
Growth: 8-10 inches

The delicate bright green leaves are finely cut, and form sort of a mound. Chervil is very sensitive to heat, and like cilantro, will bolt with too much heat or water stress. It does best in full sun, so early spring or mid to late fall are the best times to grow it. It does well in containers. The flavor is like a very subtle sweet anise. The flowers are a delicate white umbels, and attractive to beneficial insects. They are also edible, and very sweet.
