30 Garlic Chives Bare Roots – Chinese Leeks Live Plants (Allium tuberosum)

Garlic Chives, also known as Chinese Leeks, are a flavorful perennial herb grown for their flat, grass-like leaves and delicate white flowers. These plants offer a mild garlic-onion taste and are a favorite for fresh use in cooking, stir-fries, and garnishes. Their clumping habit and attractive blooms make them a useful addition to herb gardens, borders, and edible landscapes.

Planting & Care

Plant bare roots in a prepared garden bed or container with well-draining soil. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, place the crown about 1 inch below the soil surface, and cover with soil. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the establishment period.

Garlic chives are low-maintenance once established. Water during dry spells, and apply a balanced fertilizer in spring if growth appears weak. Harvest leaves by cutting them near the base, and remove flower stalks if self-seeding is a concern. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
