Discover the secret to lush greenery with the Thompson and Morgan Organic Herb Chives Seeds. It is a resilient and stress-free herb that thrives in kitchen gardens and offers a range of culinary applications. As a member of the onion family, this perennial herb returns each year, making it a worthwhile addition to any garden. In the summer, it produces attractive pink and purple flower heads that draw in bees and butterflies. Direct sow chive seeds outdoors in early spring, ensuring a well-prepared seedbed in a full sun location. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm and in rows 30cm apart. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them within each row to maintain a spacing of 23cm apart. Alternatively, chives can be grown indoors or in a glasshouse from March to June. Sow seeds on the surface of barely moist seed compost in pots or trays. Lightly cover the seeds with finely sieved compost and place them in a propagator at a temperature of 18 to 21°C until germination, which takes 14 to 21 days. When seedlings are ready to handle, transplant them into 7.5cm pots with four seedlings per pot and grow them in cooler conditions. Acclimatise the chive plants to outdoor conditions gradually over 7 to 10 days before planting them 30cm apart when the risk of frost has passed. Product specifications: 1 packet (350 chive seeds).
