Tips
Fabulously easy to grow, ready to eat greens in the early spring. Sweet, mild-onion flavor, loaded with vitamins, minerals and allicin. Considered a blood tonic and valued as a medicinal by herbalists. Produces pretty purple blossom globes. Excellent companion plant.
Chives can be started indoors in early spring or seed directly into the garden once ground can be worked. Re-seeds readily once established. Easy to grow; tolerates partial shade.
likes good average soil, sun, regular watering
great companion plant for carrots & roses
boil chopped chives in water to make a great insecticide/mildew/scab spray
use as an alternative to onions or scallions in dishes
