Onion Chives are a clumping easy to grow perennial herb with a light onion flavour. Their showy blueish-purple flowers appear on stalks making an attractive addition to the garden. The flowers are also edible and make an attractive addition to a salad or as a garnish.

Bees are highly attracted to Chive flowers.

Flowering Season: Best in Spring and Summer

Position: Full sun. Prefer rich, moist soil.

Harvest: Leaves can be harvested at any stage but 10-15cm is optimal.

Uses:ย In any dish where a light onion flavour is wanted. Add to butter for an aromatic topping on corn, pasta dishes or garlic bread. Blossoms can be used to infuse vinegar.ย 

Size: 30cmH x 30cm W

Care Tips: Keeping your chive plants snipped back will control any dried yellow stems that appear from taking over as the plant ages.ย ย Regular harvesting will also assist with continued green growth and trigger more flowers.ย  Regular use of a liquid fertiliser such as Ecovital will help keep Chives happy and healthy.ย  ย
