Chives can be grown in the garden or on the windowsill so you can always have a fresh supply available.
Chives grows 12 inches tall in height and it is a perennial, which will be able to grow in zones 4 though 9.
The bloom traits of chives are big pink flowers from mid-spring on and off throughout summer and early fall.
Chives likes to grow in open, sunny areas, but they also like to grow in the garden.
Chives are very easy to grow from seed and it requires no special treatment. In early spring, you can sow them directly into your garden soil or you can start them indoors for transplanting them in your garden later in the spring or early summer. Germination is about 80 percent and sprouting occurs in about 2 weeks. They can also be propagated by root divisions either in early spring or fall. These plants grows in clumps, so you will need to space them 12 inches apart and water moderately.
Chives likes full sun to full shade. Chives is adaptable to different soil types, but prefers a well-drained locations.
Chives are wonderful in food garden or a counter top herbs. Chives grows with summer savory, hearts ease, and red ship.
When chives are ready to harvested do not pull up all of the chives plants because this will kill them. You need to only cut the aerial parts of the plants. You can picked the flowers using scissors or snips.
The green leafy parts are good to add to some of your vegetables, pasta salads, or egg dishes.They are better fresh.
Chives is a good herb to grow for yourself, especially if you are like me and I really like to cook with all different types of herbs.
