Summary

Anthriscus sylvestris, commonly known as Wild Chervil, is an annual or biennial herb native to a variety of habitats including open woodlands, meadows, and grasslands across Eastern Europe, Northern and Central Asia, and the Mediterranean region. It can grow to a height of 60–170 centimeters (24–67 inches) and is characterized by its delicate, fern-like foliage and umbels of small, white flowers that bloom from April to June. The flowers are modest in appearance but can add a light, airy texture to garden settings.

Wild Chervil is appreciated for its lacy foliage and the informal, cottage garden aesthetic it can contribute to a planting scheme. It is often used in wildflower meadows, borders, and as a filler plant in cultivated gardens. It is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal care once established. Wild Chervil prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade and is adaptable to a range of soil types, provided they have adequate drainage. While it is not known for serious pest or disease issues, it can self-seed prolifically, which may lead to unwanted spread in the garden.CC BY-SA 4.0
