Here is the BEST Time to Start Chervil Seeds in Florida (2023)

Do you want to grow chervil seeds in Florida, but don’t know when to start them?

Starting chervil seeds is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • Chervil Seeds must be consistenly watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at room temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

So if you don’t consistently water them they won’t germinate. If they aren’t in a room that is at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t sprout. And if it receives 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.

  • Because Florida’s growing season is not long enough, chervil seeds cannot be sowed outside and should only be started indoors.

Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to start chervil seeds indoors in Florida:

When to Start Chervil Seeds Indoors

Depending on the type of chervil, it takes roughly 28-56 days (4 to 6 weeks) to grow chervil from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden.

The approximate date of when you should start your chervil seeds indoors can be found by:

  • Finding the last average frost date HERE
  • And then subtract 56 days from it

You can also find the average last frost date for most major cities in the below chart that I have created:

To help ensure the greatest success of your chervil seeds germinating you should:

  • Use a heat mat to ensure the gardening pot remains at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Use a grow light to control how much light your chervil seeds receive
  • Water your seeds with a spray bottle to ensure your seeds are not overwatered

It should also be noted that you will not want to introduce your chervil plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your last frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bear vegetables.
