Chervil seed is slow to germinate (5 to 7 days) but grows quickly afterward. Chervil quickly reaches 3- to 4-inches in height and is ready to harvest in 14- to 18-days.
The leaves are light green. The true leaves are very feathery.
Chervil microgreens will also regrow after harvest if care is taken not to trim them too low.
