About...
(Anthiscus cerefolium) - Finely cut, aromatic, curled leaves. Parsley-like flavor with a hint of tarragon. Use for soups, egg dishes, fish and sauces. Chervil is an essential herb in the French culinary tradition, providing a subtle yet complex flavor similar to a blend of anise/licorice and parsley. Micro chervil is the microgreen form and is more delicate with a purer, cleaner version of chervil’s flavor. Read More....MORE HERB OPTIONS

Microgreens Planting Guide
Chervil microgreens may not be the first microgreens people think of, but perhaps they should be! When grown right, chervil microgreens are a nutritious way to perfectly season your dinner! The lush foliage makes chervil microgreens a lively-looking bunch, complete with an herby aroma. Compared to other microgreens, micro chervil takes a while to grow. It needs 12 - 26 days of careful cultivation before being ready for harvest. While it’s still fairly easy to grow, chervil microgreens need a bit more maintenance, including proper watering, good air circulation, and possibly extra soil nutrients.
Start Chervil seeds and grow this popular annual that is considered to be both a medicinal herb as well as a culinary herb. Chervil, also known as French Parsley, is also an attractive plant with finely-divided, fern-like leaves. It likes a position in the shade during the hottest part of the day. If it is positioned in full sun, the delicate foliage can suffer and become burned and bleached. Chervil French Parsley is fast growing and harvesting can be as soon as 8 weeks after planting the herb seeds. Some gardeners will sow the Chervil seeds in successive plantings to keep a constant supply of leaves.
For culinary use, both the roots and leaves are used. The French Parsley herb roots can be harvested in mid-summer and stored like a potato for later use in soups. The leaves are the most widely-used and have an anise-parsley flavor. Chervil leaves are a great addition to salads and soups. The flavor lends itself well to fish, crab, meats, vegetables and sauces. Chervil also had a therapeutic property being used as a diuretic and for skin ailments.
How To Grow Chervil From Seed: Sow Chervil seeds directly in prepared seedbeds. Sow the herb seeds shallowly and barley cover. Keep the French Parsley herb seeds moist until germination. Chervil herb plants need moisture, but it is best to let them dry out in-between waterings. Keep the flowers cut to encourage leaf growth, and harvest often, picking the outside leaves and allowing the younger leaves to grow. Harvest the leaves when the flavor is the best which is just before flowering and in cooler weather.
Harvesting: We generally only harvest cotyledons for microgreens, but micro chervil is different. Since they’re herbs, the true leaves can be harvested as well (as opposed to the bitter true leaves of most microgreen plants). So, you can wait until those delicious, first curled leaves grow in before harvesting. If you wait too long though, the plants and roots will quickly outgrow their sprouting trays. Try to harvest before the chervil microgreens stretch over 2 inches tall. Using clean kitchen shears, clip your chervil microgreens stems just above the soil surface. You can harvest them all at once or remove small bunches over a few days. Though new true leaves may regrow from remaining nodes if left on the stems, chervil takes so long to grow that it likely won’t have the energy to produce new leaves.
Note: Our seeds are perfect for growing both indoors and outdoors, allowing you to nurture your own green space regardless of the season. They are versatile, enabling you to germinate plants anytime, anywhere, whether it's inside your home or outside in your garden, opening up new possibilities for your gardening endeavors.

Verbascum (Verbascum Phoenicium Hybrids Mix) - This free flowering mix grown from Verbascum seeds will give your garden weeks of lovely colors. Commonly called Purple Mullein, this plant has dark green, crinkly leaves and beautiful spikes of papery-thin, round 5 - petaled blooms in shades of white, rose, and violet. The Purple Mullein plant starts blooming from the bottom of the spike and proceeds upward, opening one by one. Mullein flowers look lovely in a mixed border, and they can bloom from late spring up until the first frost. It is both deer and rabbit resistant, and butterflies love it! Verbascum flowers are excellent for cutting as well. Also considered to be a medicinal herb, the Mullein herb has diuretic, analgesic, expectorant, and antiseptic properties.
How To Grow Mullein From Seed: Plant Mullein seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before last frost date. Lightly press the Verbascum flower seeds into the soil, but do not cover with soil since the seeds need light to germinate. Keep constantly moist, not wet, and the herb seeds will germinate in 14 - 21 days. For outdoor sowing, wait until frost danger has passed, and sow Purple Mullein seeds directly into prepared seed bed. Spacing should be about 18 - 24 inches apart. Verbascum Mullein will bloom the first year if the flower seeds are sown early enough in the season. Flowers can be left on to self-seed or can be deadheaded to encourage more blooming.
