Anthriscus sylvestris aka Bur Chervil

Caring for Bur Chervil is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Bur Chervil should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Bur Chervil loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Bur Chervil prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the cold period, it is common for Bur Chervil to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

Bur Chervil’s native range is Most of Europe, including Britain, south and east to N. Africa and Siberia.
