Allium Schoenoprasum – 1.06g – Approx 850 Seeds          

Perennial Herb

Height: 30cm

Position: Prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade

Chives are part of the allium family and have a mild, onion like taste – both the leaves and the flowers are edible.

The flowers can be used in salads or we enjoy using them to make a chive blossom vinegar which is lovely on some roasted potatoes or as a salad dressing just make sure to leave some flowers for the bees to enjoy!

The seeds should be multi sown in trays or modules from late winter and can be planted out when the plants are around 8cm tall. Alternatively they can be direct sown during spring and summer. The plants should be spaced to around 15cm apart and can be divided when they get too big.
