Product Description
Product Description Chives herb seed by Mr. Fothergill's. Mild onion flavour. Much loved for its fresh, delicate onion flavour. Compliments many dishes including salads and sauces. Tough plants ideal for growing on a cool windowsill. Plant Class: Hardy Perennial (HP). Useful Information: Suitable for contained gardens; Herb garden Sow and Grow: Sow and grow indoors for all year round crops. Sow 0.5 cm (1/4-inch) deep, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20 degree C (60-68 degree F) is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. For earlier outdoor crops, sow indoors March-May. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out into warm, well-drained soil, 20 cm (8-inch) apart, during May-June. Alternatively, plants can be grown on a light windowsill. Or sow outdoors March-May for ease, where they are to crop, 0.5 cm (1/4-inch) deep, directly into finely-prepared, warm, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 20 cm (8-inch) apart. Harvest: by cutting leaves once they reach 15 cm (6-inch) tall (outdoor crops from June). Pick a few leaves from each plant so they regrow quickly. Hints and Tips: If you are short of space, chives are decorative enough to be grown in flower borders or pots on the patio. It is a rewarding and long-lived herb. Box Contains 1x 750 Seeds Pack
