You can plant your new, fully rooted seedling of Chinese chives outdoors in the garden practically at any time during the main growing season. For its successful cultivation, choose a sunny or only partially shaded location where it will have enough light for rich flowering. Chives will grow best in sufficiently nutritious, but not freshly fertilized, friable loamy-sandy soil that is well-draining. Be sure to avoid planting in heavy, clayey, and permanently waterlogged soils. The plant forms neat green clumps reaching a height of around half a meter, which fit perfectly into herb spirals, mixed perennial beds, but will also serve excellently as a very practical edging for garden paths.
To make sure your herb does its best and brings you a rich harvest, we bring a few practical tips for its trouble-free maintenance. Place the seedlings at a distance of about 25 cm from each other. This recommended spacing will ensure enough room for the natural spread of the roots and prevent the unpleasant steaming of the leaves. Maintain only moderate moisture; watering should be regular, but the soil must dry out slightly between each watering. Fertilizing during the season is not necessary. This amazing perennial is tailor-made for beginners because it is completely immune to common diseases and unpleasant pests avoid it. The seedling additionally thrives absolutely perfectly in a spacious pot on a balcony, just do not forget a high-quality drainage layer at the bottom of the container, so the sensitive roots never stand in water.
During late summer, usually from August to the end of October, chives bloom with beautiful and strongly aromatic white flowers. To keep the plant maximally vital and ensure a constant supply of crisp leaves for your kitchen, we recommend cutting them regularly roughly five centimeters above the soil surface. This will encourage constant renewal and rejuvenation of the entire clump. With winter approaching, the plant naturally draws all nutrients into the root system and its above-ground part dries up. Due to its absolutely excellent frost hardiness down to -23 °C, you can leave it to overwinter directly in the bed without the slightest worry, without any special winter protection. We then recommend carefully removing the dried old leaves only in early spring, just before brand new, fresh green shoots begin to appear.
The information given is based on our experience, please use it as a guide only. Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
