50 Live Garlic Chive Leek Plants Bare Root Edible Perennial Herb

Garlic chives, also known as garlic chive leeks or Chinese chives, are a hardy perennial herb grown for their flat, blue-green leaves and mild garlic-onion flavor. These live bare root plants arrive ready to establish, making them a practical choice for herb gardens, edible landscapes, and kitchen beds. The plants form clumping, grass-like foliage that adds texture to borders and containers while providing a steady supply of fresh herb for cooking.

Garlic chives are valued for their versatility and easy-going nature. The leaves can be snipped fresh for stir-fries, soups, dumplings, and egg dishes, and the plants return year after year in suitable climates. Their late-season white flowers are attractive to pollinators and add ornamental interest to the garden.

Planting & Care

Plant bare root garlic chives as soon as possible after arrival. Rehydrate the roots briefly in water, then set them in a prepared bed or container with well-drained soil, covering the roots and firming the soil gently around them. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist until new growth appears.

Once established, garlic chives need moderate watering and benefit from a light application of compost or balanced fertilizer in spring. Remove spent flowers if self-seeding is unwanted, and divide crowded clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Harvest leaves by snipping near the base, leaving enough growth for the plant to recover.
