Growing Basics
Chives are
perennials
in Minnesota.
Sunlight:
Full sun (6+ hours daily).
Soil:
Fertile, well-drained soil.
Transplanting:
Plant at the same depth as in the pot.
Watering:
Keep soil evenly moist, but not soggy.
Fertilization:
Fertilize every 4-6 weeks with balanced fertilizer (10-10-10).
Other Tips
Snip leaves regularly to encourage new growth.
Divide clumps every few years to keep plants healthy and productive.
I recommend planting these in pots; they'll take over your yard if they go straight in the ground.
