Uses

<p>A versatile <strong>culinary</strong> herb snipped fresh over salads, soups, eggs, curries and dips for a delicate onion flavour. The <em>edible flowers</em> add colour to salads, and the plant&#039;s blooms attract pollinators to the garden.</p>

Growing tips

<p>Sow seeds <strong>0.5 cm deep</strong> in clusters in pots or trays. Seeds <strong>germinate in 10-21 days</strong> (be patient). Thin to small clumps spaced <strong>10-15 cm apart</strong>. Begin snipping leaves once clumps are 15 cm tall, about <strong>60-80 days from sowing</strong>; always leave a few cm so they regrow. Divide established clumps every couple of years to keep them vigorous.</p>

Frequently asked questions

When should I sow chives seeds in India?
Sow in the cool season, roughly September to February, in most of India. In mild climates and shaded balconies chives can be kept going much of the year as a perennial.
Can I grow chives indoors or on a windowsill?
Yes, chives are one of the best windowsill herbs. A small 6-inch pot with 4-5 hours of light and steady moisture will give you snippable leaves for months.
