Quick Overview

Chives Ordinary (organic).

Product Description

Chives are an easy and quick germinating perennial herb from seed, which is cut-and-come-again, with a characteristic, mild oniony flavour.

These organic chive seeds are invaluable for emerging very early in the spring - in late February in my garden - for using in spring salsa verde and salads. Pick the mauve chive flowers to scatter in salads and soups from mid May onwards, but don't leave the plants flowering for long. Cut them almost to the ground in early June and give them a high Potash feed for more chives throughout the rest of summer.
