About this variety

This perennial member of the onion family is undemanding and easy to grow, returning year after year, and attracting bees and butterflies to its pretty pink blooms. Chives are an essential addition to the herb garden. Their leaves and edible flowers make them indispensable for garnishing potato salad, soups and other savoury dishes.

Growing Info
Transplant seedlings in bunches to small pots or cells until large enough to plant outdoors. Plant 30cm apart in well prepared soil in full sun, once risk of frost has passed. Can be grown in a pot indoors for a long season of use.

When to buy and plant

Use the sowing dates on the packet. Some seeds need indoor sowing and transplanting; others can be sown directly outdoors when conditions are suitable.

Planting and growing

Follow the packet for sowing depth, spacing and germination conditions. Choose suitable seed compost where required, label varieties and avoid letting seedlings dry out.

Aftercare

Thin or transplant seedlings as directed and harden off indoor-raised plants before planting out. Water and feed for the crop or flower you are growing.
