About

Garlic Chives (Allium Tuberosum) is a perennial herb cultivated as both a vegetable and a medicinal plant. Unlike common Chives, it grows flat strap-like leaves instead of hollow tubes with garlic flavor. Every part of the Allium Tuberosum plant is edible: the leaves, the unopened flower buds (which are considered a delicacy in Chinese cooking), and the white star-shaped flowers that bloom in late summer. It grows in upright, tidy clumps reaching about 14 inches. Hardy in zones 3–9, Garlic Chives plant is frost-tolerant and grows in garden beds, raised beds, containers and herb gardens.

How to Grow & Harvest

Sowing & Timing

Direct sow Garlic Chives seeds ΒΌ inch deep after the last frost. Or start indoors 6–8 weeks earlier if your season is short. Chives garlic seeds typically sprout within 14 days. Keep the soil consistently moist until plants are a few inches tall, and don’t let the ground dry out completely. Thin seedlings to 6–8 inches apart.Β 

Soil, Watering & Fertilization

The Allium Tuberosum plant needs at least 6 hours of direct sun for strong leaf production. It grows in most well-drained ground, but rich, moist soil gives you noticeably taller and more productive plants. Water regularly through the first growing season while roots establish. By year two, established plants handle dry spells without trouble.

Growth & Harvest

Cut leaves back to about an inch above soil once plants hit 6 inches tall, as the more you harvest, the more productive the plant becomes. Regular cutting stimulates new growth. Deadhead the flower heads before seeds drop if you want to control spreading. Cut clumps completely in fall and new leaves re-emerge in spring. Every 3–4 years, divide mature clumps in early spring to keep the plant productive.
