Chives are an easy-to-grow, perennial herb with very nice aroma.

This chive variety produces narrow leaves with a very aromatic, mild onion flavor. Blooms with round purple flowers. Harvest the leaves as you go and use them fresh in sallads, cold sauces or as decoration. The leaves can also be frozen or dried.

Don't let the plant flower abundantly as it takes energy from other growth, but allowing some flowers for harvest (buds and flowers from onions, garlic and chives are called scapes) make a beautiful and tasty garnish!

Thrives on loamy calcareous soil, preferably clay soil, but unpretentious.

Fertilizing is recommended 2-3 times per season.

Direct sowing: March - May or August for earlier germination in the Spring. Water before sowing and keep moist until germination. Sow in clusters of 5-10 seeds.

Spacing: 10 cm between clusters of 5-10 plants / 2 clusters of 5-10 plants per GreenStalk pocket
