Anthiscus cerefolium. Curled Chervil, or "French Parsley" is a wonderful herb for soups, stews, salads, and more! Grows in stalks resemble celery, but are much easier to grow. Edible at any stage; you can harvest it right away, or wait for it to grow bigger. It has a delicate anise-like taste. A must-have for French recipes. Enhances the flavor of any other herb you might pair it with.
I thought I knew what a tasty salad was, but I was living in the dark! The light sweetness of the leaves and stem is so refreshing, I love growing them in a window box in the winter months to add a bit of variety to my salad mix.
You will not regret adding it to your repertoire! It grows easily and quickly, looks absolutely lovely! Just make sure not to plant it next to cilantro, simply because the two look a little bit similar (in my opinion). When I was outside in the garden I would have to taste them to differentiate between the two, which wasn't too much of a problem, honestly.
I highly recommend giving it a try!!

Chervil is good for planting spring and fall in a gallon or so container in a shady spot. It does not like the heat.
I received this item in perfect condition and the package was not damaged I have not planted the seeds yet but will always be a customer

Its fine, lacy leaves make it a beautiful addition to the garden, as well as a standout garnish on the plate.

It’s a must-have herb that combines beauty, flavor, and ease, making it a standout addition to any collection.
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
Our banana peppers arrived fairly quickly, even though there was a winter storm in Michigan.
I'm sure they will do well, as most seeds from Migardener do well.
I’ve been growing these for multiple years now. I love all the little surprises that come up. I have quite a collection of cactus plants now, thanks to these seed packets.
Excellent germination! Excellent packaging! Probably jumped the gun a bit but only planted 6 seeds for now!
Beautiful seeds and and extra envelope just for me to save seeds from my crop!
