Congrats on collecting our wonderful Chives seeds. These are an excellent plant to keep a garden healthy. The sulfur compounds found in the plant repel insects, but the purple flowers that grow from chives can attract bees.
Fun fact!
Chives are nature's way of saying, "Even your baked potatoes deserve a party!" These slender green herbs don't just bring a mild onion flavor; they bring a touch of celebration to your plate. Imagine them as the confetti of the herb world, turning every dish into a festive culinary experience!
Instructions
Chives are versatile and can be planted outdoors in herb gardens, flowerbeds and containers. If you plant chives outdoors, keep the bulbs at least four to six inches apart. Use well-drained soil and plant chives in a sunny spot. Though if you get little sun in your garden, they can also withstand some shade.
Where did we find the seeds?
All our chives seeds were purchased locally from one of our amazing members : Les serres Quenneville Greenhouses!
Cool! Now what do I do with it?
