Chives seeds for planting (20 seeds) fruit

How to sow/plant seeds:

To grow chives, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, plant them from seeds or divisions, and ensure they receive adequate water and sunlight. 

1. Choosing the Right Location: 

Sunlight: Chives thrive in full sun, ideally receiving 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. 

Soil: They prefer well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. 

pH: Aim for a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0. 

2. Planting: 

From Seed: Sow seeds directly into the prepared soil after the last frost. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart. 

Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate. 

From Divisions: Dig up a portion of an established chive clump in early spring or mid-fall. Ensure the division has at least five bulbs. Plant the division in the desired location, spacing plants 6-12 inches apart. 

Water well after planting. 

3. Watering and Care: 

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. 

Fertilizing: Chives don't require heavy fertilization, but you can add a small amount of compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring. 

Harvesting: Cut the leaves as needed, about 1-2 inches above the soil line. 

Dividing: Divide established chive plants every 3-4 years to maintain their vigor. 

4. Additional Tips: 

Companion Planting: Chives can be planted near carrots, celery, tomatoes, and other herbs that also thrive in full sun. 

Container Gardening:Chives can also be grown in containers, making them a good option for smaller spaces.
