Description
Our Garlic chives are grown from seed and come in a single 4″ pot.
Garlic chives, Allium tuberosum, is a cold-hardy perennial plant similar to regular chives with a strong garlic flavor. They are common in Chinese cuisine, but add a tough of garlic flavor to any dish. I love them in salad dressing vinaigrette and featured in a simple omelette.
Garlic chives grow pretty white small flowers in the summer which make a nice bouquet but they are also very popular with bees and other pollinators. They will spread a bit via self seeding over time, but certainly not a nuisance.
Many sources lists garlic chives as cold hardy down to zone 3 though Fedco mentions zone 4.
Our garlic chives seed is open pollinated. Seedlings this year will come from both Wild Garden Seed and Fedco.
