0 Seeds from my Garlic Chive Plant. Garlic Chive plants make a great ornamental, culinary, garnish, and salad green. The growth and division rate is high so you can start them in a planter and then split them into several plant pots or plant them in row in the garden. Chives will add charm to your herb/veggie garden with its butterfly attracting flowers. Chives form a dense clump of narrow strap-like oniony leaves that impart a tasty mild garlic onion flavor. Costly to buy in retail stores, you can save by growing a patch of your own in your flower or veggie garden. Late summer blooming, both the flowers and the leaves are edible. The narrow strap-like leaves are coarsely shopped and either dried, frozen or used fresh to dress up a wide variety of foods such as salads and baked potatoes. Once flowering begins, pinch off the spent buds to keep the leaves from loosing their tenderness. Cut leaves at base whenever you need them. Harvest flavor is best when done first thing in the morning. So if the idea of growing your own herbs is of interest to you, then these high quality seeds are just right.
