THIS IS a cherished herb in French cuisine, famous for its mild anise-like flavour.
Category: Herbs
(Annual)
A member of the parsley family, with light green fern like leaves and tiny white flowers in clusters. Best grown as an annual, it grows to a height of 30cm, making it ideal for pots and containers. A much loved and used herb in French cuisine, including egg dishes. poultry, salads and soups and of course essential for bearnaise sauce. Also used as a companion plant to keep aphids away from lettuces.
Planting
Plant in beds or containers, in light shade, protected from strong mid-day sun.
Care
Keep well watered until established, and in dry weather, can run to seed easily. Protect from slugs and snails.
Height & Spread:
60 – 90cm × 45 – 60cm.
Harvesting
Snip leaves when needed, ideally in the morning when the herb’s delicate flavour is at its most pronounced. Regular harvesting encourages new growth, but avoid taking more than a third of the plant at a time.
