Garlic chives have broader leaves than ordinary chives and have a delicious mild garlic flavour. Pretty white flowers are formed in summer. Garlic chives are also ideal for growing in pots.

Drop seeds 12mm deep in groups of 3-4 seeds. Remove the weaker seedlings to leave one plant per position. Allow 15cm between the plants, and keep watered during the growing season. Chives will grow in any good garden soil. Plant in spring through to early autumn.
