Garlic Chives (Allium tuberosum) – Hardy Perennial Herb Seeds
Aromatic and Versatile Herb for Kitchen and Garden
Garlic Chives, also known as Chinese Chives, are a delightful perennial herb cherished for their gentle garlicky aroma and mild yet distinct flavour. Unlike traditional chives, Garlic Chives produce flat, grass-like leaves and delicate white blossoms that add both beauty and taste to your home garden.
A member of the onion family (Alliaceae), Garlic Chives are exceptionally hardy and easy to grow, making them perfect for both beginners and experienced gardeners. Native to Asia and now popular in Western cooking, this herb is widely used in stir-fries, soups, dumplings, and as a garnish for savoury dishes.
Growing Garlic Chives – Easy and Rewarding
Garlic Chives thrive best in fertile, moist, but well-drained soil under full sun. Once established, they grow vigorously and can survive even the harshest winters—some clumps have been known to withstand temperatures as low as -35°C!
They grow slowly in expanding clumps, returning every spring with lush new growth. Their white star-shaped flowers bloom in late summer, attracting pollinators and making them equally suitable for herb gardens or ornamental borders.
