Chives Greenblade (400 seeds)

Chives Greenblade

Allium schoenoprasum

Chives 'Greenblade' is a classic culinary herb producing slender, hollow, bright green leaves with a mild, fresh onion flavour that is excellent used fresh in eggs, salads, soups, and as a garnish. The edible purple flowers are a beautiful addition to salads and attract bees through summer, making it as valuable in the pollinator garden as it is in the kitchen. A reliable and versatile perennial herb that suits gourmet kitchen gardens, borders, and container growing.

Growing well in sun or part shade with cooler conditions and moist but not waterlogged soil, 'Greenblade' rewards regular cutting with a continuous supply of fresh, tender leaves. Pick young for the best flavour and divide clumps every 2–3 years to keep plants vigorous and productive.
