Vertissimo
A tier
Vertissimo is a named chervil cultivar prized for deep green colour and reliable leaf mass in professional and home plantings. It keeps the gentle anise character while offering lush appearance in bunches. Growers like Vertissimo for uniform cuts; cooks get classic chervil behaviour—no heat, lots of volume. Seek seed from herb specialists. Colour holds well in cool storage briefly after harvest.
