Chives Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

A single planting returns year after year, making chives one of the easiest culinary herbs to grow. Who it's for Perfect for cooks who want a steady supply of mild onion flavor and beginner gardeners looking for a low-maintenance perennial for beds, borders, or pots. How & when to plant Start indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost or direct-sow in spring. Sow 1/4 inch deep, planting in clusters and spacing clumps 8–12 inches apart in full sun to part shade. Cold-hardy in USDA zones 3–9, chives thrive in average, well-drained soil and tolerate a wide range of conditions. Harvest Leaves are ready to snip in about 60–90 days from sowing, once clumps are established. Harvest by cutting leaves to about 1–2 inches above the soil, and they will regrow quickly for repeated cuttings all season. Benefits & uses Chopped chives add a mild onion flavor to eggs, potatoes, soups, salads, and dips, and the pink flowers are edible garnishes. In the garden, the blooms attract bees, and the plants make an attractive, pollinator-friendly edging. Growing guide: New to this variety?
