You’ll mainly use the leaves of your Chinese chives, but if you don’t cut too much, the plants will produce edible flowers too. Since they’re perennial, you’ll get harvests for years to come. Eat the leaves fresh, or add them to your cooking for a light garlic flavour. The clump-forming plants are quite attractive, so this perennial will look good in your flower garden too! And unlike many other edibles, you won’t get much competition from insects and wildlife.


Please note that there is a printing error on these packets. The quoted seed count for the packet should read 75 seeds.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Although you can sow these seeds direct, you’re likely to get better germination in containers. Like most seeds, they don’t want to be planted too deep (just cover) and they want to be kept moist till they’re up. After that, reduce watering.

    How to Harvest

    You can either cut off leaves individually or select individual stems once the plant has formed a clump. Once the roots are established, they resprout easily.
