Product Description
Chives are showy, herbaceous, clumping plants with grass-like leaves and heads of mauve flowers on tall stems. They grow in sunny, moist sites, from small bulbs which need to be kept clear of weeds. In cooler regions, chives die down completely in winter. Chives provide a mild onion flavour to cooking. Ideal for containers.
