Start indoors: In early spring, sow seeds in small pots or trays filled with seed compost. Cover with a thin layer of vermiculite and water gently. Place in a warm, bright location to germinate. Once seedlings are 2–3 inches tall, transplant them outdoors.
Start outdoors: In early spring, sow seeds in moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Cover seeds 1/4 inch deep and press soil firmly over them. Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart when they are 2 inches tall.
Here are some tips for growing garlic chives:
Garlic chives are perennials that can grow up to 24 inches tall and 12 inches wide. They have edible leaves and white flowers that bloom in late spring and summer.
Garlic chives grow slowly at first, but mature into sturdy mounds.
To encourage regrowth, shear the entire plant back to 4 inches after it blooms.
Regular harvesting by clipping the leaves will promote more vigorous growth.
Avoid planting garlic chives near asparagus, peas, spinach, and beans, as they compete for similar nutrients.
Chives will continue to grow with 4–6 hours of sunlight a day, but they'll grow slower and probably won't flower.
