Chives is a flowering plant that produces edible leaves and flowers with a delicate onion flavour complemented by hints of garlic, perfect for garnishing salads, eggs, soups, and savory dishes. This close relative to onions, garlic, shallots, and leeks is one of the easiest herbs to grow and provides continuous harvests throughout the growing season. Perfect for herb gardens, container growing, or kitchen windowsill cultivation where fresh herbs are always within reach for cooking. Plant in well-draining soil in full sun, spacing 15-20cm apart for optimal growth. Feed monthly during growing season with a balanced herb fertilizer to encourage continuous leaf production and maintain mild onion flavor.
