Product Information

The hollow, thin leaves of common chives have a delicate flavoring much like very mild onions.

It's absolutely delicious when sprinkled into salads and great for flavoring soups and omelettes! Due to this herb plants attractive clover-like blossoms, they are often used for edging flowerbeds as well.

Our Sow Easy seeds are seeds pelleted with an all-natural coating made from a mix of clay, perlite, and FDA-approved food coloring. This coating adds some bulk to small seeds and stands out in the soil, making direct sowing and accurate spacing easier than ever. However, the coating does add a few days to the germination time when compared to uncoated seed.
