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.
