Chives

Small clusters of bright, purplish-pink flowers and hollow, dark green leaves. One of the main reasons for growing chives is to harvest the edible leaves, which enhance the flavour of many savoury dishes. This vigorous plant also has brilliant-pink summer flowers. Perfect for a sunny border or for growing in large pots.Position: full sunSoil: fertile, moist well-drained soilRate of growth: fast-growingFlowering period: July to AugustFlower colour: purplish-pinkOther features: edible, dark green leaves (chives)Hardiness: fully hardyGarden care: Split and divide large clumps in autumn or spring
