Description

Nelly Organic Chive produces uniform clumps of fine to medium, dark green leaves with a mild onion flavor. The slender leaves give a polished look when snipped over eggs, soups, salads, potatoes, and cream-based dishes.

Plants grow 12–18 inches tall with an upright habit that works well in herb beds, borders, and containers. Once established, chives return year after year in Zones 3–9 and can be harvested several times throughout the season.

For best flavor and texture, harvest leaves before flowering and cut at ground level to encourage fresh regrowth.


How to Sow

  1. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil once the soil has warmed.

  2. Keep soil evenly moist during germination (7–14 days).

  3. Provide full sun to partial shade.

  4. Thin or space plants 2–8 inches apart.

  5. Harvest once plants are established.
