Chives

Chives DESCRIPTIONS:

Allium schoenoprasum, the chive plant, is related to onions (Alliaceae). This plant is an attractive garden perennial because it has lavender flowers, grows in clumps, and can survive in cold weather.

It has hollow leaves that look like grass and taste like mild onions. These leaves are often used in salads and dips. The tiny flowers start to bloom in late May or early June. You can eat these and put them in salads or use them to make flower arrangements.

One of the easiest herbs to grow is chives. They do best when planted in full sun in rich, well-drained soil, but they can handle light shade (though they may not flower as much) and most types of soil. It's easy to grow them from seeds or pieces of plants. Seeds can be started indoors a few weeks before the average date of the last frost and then planted outside after the danger of frost has passed, or they can be planted directly into warm soil. Separate the groups by 12 to 20 inches. Since they have shallow roots, be careful when working around them or use mulch to keep weeds away. Once they are established, chives can survive in dry conditions, but they will grow best if they are kept moist.

They don't need to be fertilized often because they don't need a lot of nutrients. Plants should be split every two to three years so they don't get too close together. There should be at least 5 bulblets in each division. Chives don't have any big problems with pests or diseases, and neither deer nor rabbits like to eat them.
