Chives Garlic Organic Seeds
$4.40
Unit price perAllium tuberosum
A versatile perennial herb prized for its flat, strappy leaves and mild garlic flavour. Garlic Chives are a staple of kitchen gardens around the world, providing a continual harvest of fresh leaves that can be used anywhere a gentle garlic note is desired.
The leaves are delicious chopped into salads, stir-fries, soups, egg dishes and savoury baking. In late summer and autumn, plants produce attractive clusters of starry white flowers that are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Both the flowers and unopened flower buds are edible and make an attractive addition to salads and garnishes.
Easy to grow and long-lived, Garlic Chives form gradually expanding clumps that can be divided every few years to rejuvenate plants and create new plantings. Once established, they are remarkably hardy and productive.

Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
