Herb, Chives Seed Packet

Chives have a mild onion flavor and bright green color that’s an excellent flavor addition to egg dishes, cheeses, salads, soups, over sour cream on baked potatoes, and in butter sauces. Chives grow in clumps with round, hollow, grassy leaves that can reach a height of 9 inches. Pink or purple flowers make an attractive edible garnish, and should be removed to promote growth of the leaves throughout the warm season—and to prohibit self-seeding. Chives thrive in moist soil in containers or in the ground where they’ll receive plenty of daytime sun. Snipping the chives in 1/4-inch lengths makes them perfect for use fresh or dried. Chives are an attractant to bees and are known to deter deer. Approximately 300 seeds per packet.
