Growing Notes:

Variety Info: Bright green, slender, hollow leaves with a mild onion flavor; pinkish-purple pom-pom flowers appear in late spring to early summer. Once you plant chives in your garden, chances are you'll always have them.
Harvesting: Harvest lightly the first season to give the plants a chance to develop. Cut leaves at about 1″ from the ground as needed. New shoots will grow from the base of the plant.
