Chive Plant

• Perfect for soups, omelettes, and cheese dishes
• Edible purple flowers add a pop of colour to salads

Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are a must-have perennial herb, bringing a mild onion flavour to a variety of dishes. Their fresh, slender leaves are perfect for adding to soups, omelettes, and cheese-based recipes, while their vibrant purple flowers make a stunning and edible garnish for summer salads. Start by planting chive seedlings in pots or trays filled with compost to protect them from the elements. Once they are well-established, transplant them into their final growing position in the garden or a container. Keep harvesting regularly to encourage fresh, new growth, ensuring a continuous supply of homegrown chives.
