Chives

CHIVES: Allium schoenoprasum

Chives thrive in well-drained soil, rich in organic matter, with a PH of 6–7 and full sun.

They can be grown from seed and mature in summer, or early the following spring.

Seeds germinate at a temperature of 15 to 20 °C but keep soil kept moist until establised.

They can also be planted and germinated indoors, then planted out later.

After at least four weeks, the young shoots should be ready to be planted out.

Great at supporting pollinators
