Chive - Garlic (2.6" pot)
Perennial. A variety with a strong garlic flavour and aroma. In the kitchen, they are an easy substitute for garlic, and can add extra flavour to stir-fries, soups, stews, salads, or omelettes. The leaves, stems, and flowers are all edible. The flowering stems are a seasonal specialty, and are especially good for stir-frying. In the garden, they combine well with most perennials and annuals. Flowers bloom white in late summer, and attract butterflies, bees and other pollinators. If allowed to go to seed, they will self-sow readily. To prevent this, simply trim the stalks before seed pods develop. Plants are low maintenance, and extremely easy to grow. heat, cold, and drought tolerant once established. Plants prefer moist, fertile, well-draining soil and do not require supplemental feeding.
Harvest: Once leaves are at least 6” tall, cut 1-2” from base of plant. Harvest flowering stems before the flowerbuds open.
Plant Height: 10-20”
Plant Spacing: 6”
