Growing Information

SOWING INFO

In early spring, sow seeds thinly in small pots or trays filled with peat free compost. Cover with a thin layer of compost and water gently. Place in a warm, light position to germinate, chives need between 18 – 20°C to germinate. Germination in 14 – 28 days. Can be sown in place from May onwards.

GROWING INFO

When seedlings are large enough to safely handle, harden off before planting outside after the last frost. Plant in clusters of 4 – 5 roughly 25cm apart. Keep moist but avoid waterlogging which chives hate. Regular harvesting will promote more growth. May die back some in winter but will regrow in spring.
