Chives

Mild onion- or garlic-flavored green stems perfect for garnishing, salads, and spreads.

• 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.
