A MUST-HAVE in the herb garden, this variety has flat, grass-like leaves and a subtle garlic flavour.
Category: Herbs
(Perennial)
A close relative of ordinary chives, garlic chives grow in big clumps, producing starry white flowers, which are adored by bees. Grow in a sunny or partly shaded position and they will come back year after year. Use in garnishes, salads, sandwiches and omelettes. The flowers can also be eaten and used as a garnish.
Planting
Plant in beds or containers, in well-drained soil or compost, in full sun or partial shade.
Care
Keep well watered until established, and in dry weather. Will die back during winter and regrow in the spring.
Height & Spread:
20 – 30cm × 20 – 30cm.
Harvesting
Snip leaves and flowers as needed, ideally in the morning for optimal flavour. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more leaves. Be careful not to over-harvest to maintain a healthy, flourishing plant.
