Description
Allium schoenoprasm
Low-care, tidy, cheerful perennial herb that comes on early with mild onion flavor!
Nothing says spring like chives pushing surely up through the cold ground, tickling our nostrils and awakening our tastebuds after the winter’s starchy slumber. Edible purple blossoms attract pollinators, too! Plants grow around 1’ tall. Clumps expand very slowly.
Seeds grown by Winniford Family Farm in Rice, WA and Bluebird Forest Garden in Orofino, Idaho.
200 seeds.
Directions: Sow in clumps in pots or directly outside in spring. Clumps will slowly expand through the years. Clumps will start flowering their second year. Grows well in a container garden.
