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 very little cold which means that you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than other frost tender plants.

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

The last month that you can plant chervil and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your chervil may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your chervil indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.
