This vigorous, delicious, compact chives is part of the ProEasy Herb series. A premier variety originally developed for professional growers, ProEasy Chives is also uniquely suited to home gardeners who want to harvest big, exceptionally flavorful crops in a minimum of space. Compact enough for containers, it is superbly disease-resistant and vigorous, bringing you generous yields every time.
This open-pollinated, untreated seed has none of the chemicals found in some commercially grown hybrids. All-natural, it's simply the best for your home garden. Like all the ProEasy Herbs, it was selected according to very specific criteria:
* Strong, rich flavorProEasy Chives not only belongs in every garden, it belongs in many different places in the garden. A perennial that freely self-sows if the beautiful blooms are allowed to go to seed, it makes an excellent choice for the annual bed and the vegetable garden, both of which benefit greatly from chives' pest-fighting abilities. In the perennial border, chives are stunning as edging as well as accents (just be sure to snip the flowers so they don't take over). In containers, they add fragrance and color while keeping pests at bay. And they're a must-have in the kitchen windowsill, too.
In this packet you get 1,000 seeds, enough for your vegetable patch, herb garden, parterre, and kitchen flowerpots. Direct-sow the seeds, and harvest sparingly the first year for even bigger production the second.
