    Chive: maintenance tips

    A very hardy perennial whose slender stems and flowers are edible.

    Maintenance tips: ChiveMaintenance tips: Chive

    Common name: Chive

    Exposure

    Prefers sun or partial shade.

    Watering

    A cool-climate plant, it tolerates heat fairly well, provided it doesn't run out of water during dry spells.

    Planting

    Plant in soil rich in organic matter, cool and well-drained.

    Fertilization

    Fertilize in early spring with an all-purpose fertilizer.

    Harvest

    Harvest for the first time when the stems have reached 15 to 20 cm in height. Pick small stems, leaving only 5 to 7 cm at the base, to stimulate new leaf formation. Stems smaller than 5 cm can lead to early dieback.

    Availability may vary by store.
