Garlic chives also grow well as a container plant. For companion planting benefits, plant garlic chives with carrots; this improves the carrots' flavor and production.

Keep the soil moist while the seedlings are developing. Garlic chives will spread vigorously with each year of growth, and can easily be divided for new plantings. To prevent the plant from reseeding itself, be sure to remove the developing chives seeds heads and keep the plant trimmed.

To blanch the developing leaves(韭黄), cover the plant with a thick layer of straw. After several frosts, cut the plant down to the ground.

The first year of their planting, garlic chives should not be harvested to ensure their strong development. In the second year of their growth, harvest garlic chives at any time after they reach a length of 6", cutting them 1/2" above the soil with a sharp knife or scissors. Frequent cutting actually improves production, since this signals new growth; the growth of the flowers causes the leaf growth to slow down dramatically. The leaves keep in the refrigerator for about a week.

Garlic Chives are perennial herbs that can be planted indoors or outdoors. A very versatile and tasty herb! Not only do chives add flavor to baked potatoes, but they can also be used to flavor soups and other foods as well.

INSTRUCTION- Sprinkle your seeds evenly apart (1/4 inch or so, but don’t worry about spacing) on moist soil or potting mix, then cover with a 1/4 inch layer of potting mix and water in very gently. Once your chives have sprouted, you can grow them in the same pot or transplant them into a larger pot.

Garlic Chives can potentially survive Zone 3 winters and grow back next spring. So, if you want to keep growing and harvesting chives all winter, it’s best to bring them inside to a sunny window if you live somewhere with frigid winters.

【Plant and Water】Once received, trim roots slightly to promote new growth. Also cut off excess long green leaves. Leave 4-6 inches or less. Plant them right away. Space out every 4 inches or so. Water thoroughly after planting and keep daily watering till new growth come out.

【Require very little fertiziging】Trim roots to about 1.5" long before planting, this helps promote new roots growth.

TIME:Chives are cool-season, cold-tolerant perennials that are best planted in early to mid-spring for an early summer harvest.

DIFFERENT:Their more potent garlic flavor. Unlike common onion chives, they are not hollow.
