Product Description

A perennial seasoning. Dark green thin leaves, up to 15" long, form a dense bush. Do not cut them in the first year. Cut them in following years when the leaves reach 8 to 10" to avoid bolting and enhance regrow. Planting instructions: While chives are frequently grown from divisions, they are just as easy to start from seeds. Chive can be started indoors or outdoors. Water well. If you’re planting chive seeds indoors, place the pot in a dark spot in temperatures 60 to 70 F. (15 to 21 C.) until the seeds sprout, then move them into the light. When the chives reach 6 inches, you can transplant them to the garden. If you’re planting the chive seeds outdoors, wait ’till after the last frost to plant the seeds. The seeds may take a little extra time to sprout until the soil warms up. Chives will grow just about anywhere, but prefer strong light and rich soil. Growing chives indoors is also easy. Chives do very well indoors and will frequently be the herb that will do the best in your indoor herb garden. The best way how to grow chives indoors is to plant them in a pot that drains well, but is filled with a good potting soil. Place the chives where they will get bright light. Continue harvesting chives as you would if they were outdoors. Once the chives are about a foot tall, simply snip off what you need.
