Golden-chervil prefers partial shade and consistently moist, humus-rich soil, doing best in woodland garden settings or shaded borders. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant once sited correctly but will struggle in dry or exposed conditions. Keep the soil mulched to retain moisture and protect its shallow roots.
