Garlic chives, also called Chinese chives, have slim flat grass-like leaves that taste like a perfect combination of sweet garlic and chives. Just snip them over salads, fresh vegetables, or any savory dish to add a subtle and delicious garlic accent without any of the fuss. The green strappy leaves form neat mounding plants with pretty white edible blossoms. This a joy to have ready at hand – a gardening cook’s secret!

Frost hardy
TO PLANT DIRECTLY OUTDOORS
In the cool weather of early spring, sow clusters of 7 to 10 seeds 8 to 10 inches apart in well-worked, fertile soil in sun or part shade. Cover 1/4 inch deep and press soil firmly over seeds. Keep evenly moist as seeds germinate slowly over several weeks. Emerging seedlings have slender, straight leaves.
TO START EARLY INDOORS
In early spring, sow seed thinly in a container of seed starting mix and cover 1/2 Inch deep. Keep evenly moist as seedlings slowly emerge and provide a good light source. Gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions before transplanting clusters of 7 to 10 seedlings, planting each cluster 8 inches apart.
