Cultivation tips: Chive is a low growing culinary allium, being best grown in well drained fertile soil in full sun, often mixed with other herbs and edible crops, either in a herb garden or on the allotment. Plant as divided clump in autumn and occasionally mulch. Trim young foliage regularly for culinary use.
