Herb
Brussels Winter
A tier
Brussels Winter is a cold-tolerant chervil selection associated with Belgian winter market gardening—slower to bolt in cool short days and able to supply leaf when spring types struggle. Flavour stays classic mild anise. Sow for autumn and winter greenhouse or cold-frame crops. The name signals hardiness more than a different spice profile. Valuable for cooks who want chervil beyond a brief spring window.
