A traditional favourite, Chives are renowned for their slight onion-like aroma and how easy it is to grow. Complement many dairy dishes and salads excellently by simply placing your chives on a cool windowsill and reap great flavour with minimal effort!
- Mild onion flavour, perfect for dairy dishes and salads.
- Sow indoors all year round for indoor crops and March to May for outdoor crops. Sow 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20oC (60-68oC) is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom plants to outside cold conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 20cm (8") apart. Alternatively plants can be grown on a light windowsill.
- Ideal soil type: Well drained, fertile
- Planting position: Part shade
- If you are short of space chives are decorative enough to be grown in flower borders or pots on the patio, it is a rewarding and long lived herb.
- Hardy Perennial
- Pack size: 750 Seeds
- Sow by: JAN-DEC
