Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to determine your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Victoria you can estimate when to plant chervil by referring to the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Chervil

Frost tolerance for chervil:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

Chervil do well in a tiny bit of cold which tells us that you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant chervil in Victoria is February. However, you really should wait until March if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant chervil and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your chervil may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your chervil indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

In Victoria the average date of last frost happens on February 15. You should expect an average low temperature of 20°F in the coldest months of winter.

It's important to remember that the actual date of last frost is just an average because it is based on the USDA zone info for Victoria and it can change quite a bit from year to year. Half of the time in Victoria you get surprised by a frost after February 15 so make sure that you are prepared to protect your chervil in the event of a surprise late frost.
