Planting and Growing Instructions
Chives are simple to grow and require minimal care. Follow these steps to grow healthy, vibrant chives in your garden or containers:
-
Soil Preparation:
Chives prefer well-drained soil with a slightly alkaline pH. Enrich the soil with compost or organic matter for better growth. If planting in containers, use a good-quality potting mix. -
Planting:
Sow Chives seeds about 1/4 inch deep in rows or scatter them over the soil for a more natural look. Space the seeds 1-2 inches apart to allow for growth. Chives thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. -
Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot. Chives are relatively drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering is essential during the growing season. -
Care:
Chives are a low-maintenance herb. Trim back the leaves to encourage fresh growth and prevent them from flowering too early. Divide the clumps every 2-3 years to maintain healthy plants. -
Harvesting:
You can start harvesting Chives once the plants are about 6 inches tall. Snip off the leaves with scissors, leaving about an inch of growth behind to encourage new shoots. Harvest regularly for the best flavor and to keep the plant healthy.
