Description

Onion Chives are a perennial to 50cm, growing in slowly spreading clumps. The plants have green, hollow stems with a mild flavour; used raw or cooked. Chives can easily be grown in containers.
Seeds are easy to collect. Wait until the flowers have died off. They will split open revealing the black seeds within. Harvested carefully, there will be very little cleaning. The easiest way to do this is to cut off the dead flowering stems and place them upside down in a paper bag. Hang to dry, out of direct sunlight, for two weeks before cleaning and storing.
