📅 When to Plant Chervil?

Chervil (also known as Kerbel) belongs to the Herbs category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Early Spring onwards.

Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Chervil can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Early Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.

🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.

❄️ Frost Sensitivity & Protection

Chervil tolerates light frost down to about −3°C. Extended cold periods or hard frosts are harmful. Once night temperatures stay above 3°C, it is safe to plant outdoors.

🌡️ Optimal Temperatures

Chervil grows best at daytime temperatures between 10°C and 22°C. Night temperatures should not fall below 3°C.

🍄 Mold & Rain Tolerance

Chervil is relatively robust against mold and tolerates wetter conditions well. Still, always avoid waterlogging.

Rain sensitivity: Low – Relatively rain-tolerant – good drainage is sufficient.
