Anthriscus
Also called Chervils
Anthriscus, or chervils, is a genus of about 14 flowering plants in the carrot family, mostly wild meadow and roadside species. The one grown in gardens is Anthriscus cerefolium, a culinary herb that prefers cool conditions and moist, well-drained soil.
Anthriscus (chervils) is a common flowering plant genus of the family Apiaceae, which includes 14 species native to Europe, temperate Asia, northwest Africa, and the tropical African mountains. The genus grows in meadows and verges on slightly wet porous soils. One species, Anthriscus cerefolium is cultivated and used in the kitchen to flavor foods.
Anthriscus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the mouse moth (recorded on cow parsley).
