Mr Fothergills organic chives produce a tasty and decorative perennial herb for the garden or containers. Features long, dark, straight leaves with good vigour and pink flowers.
Sow 15mm deep in groups of 3-4 seeds. Remove the weaker seedlings to leave one plant per position. Allow 15cm between the plants. Chives will grow in good garden soil in sun or partial shade. You can also sow indoors all year round, 3-4 seeds per pot and grow on the kitchen windowsill. Cut the leaves close to the ground as required before the flowers start to form. Alternatively put the clump in a pot and cut down the foliage – fresh shoots will emerge quickly.
