These live plants arrive bare root, ready to establish in garden beds, borders, or containers. Their mild garlic-onion flavor makes them a versatile addition to the kitchen garden, and their late-summer white blooms attract pollinators. With their clumping growth habit and tolerance of a range of conditions, garlic chives are a low-maintenance choice for organic gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are expanding an herb garden or starting a dedicated perennial patch, these bare-root plants offer a head start compared to growing from seed.

Soak the roots in water for 30-60 minutes before planting. Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, set the plant so the crown is level with the soil surface, and backfill gently. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist until new growth appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, garlic chives require little care. Water during dry spells, and apply a layer of compost or organic mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest leaves by cutting them near the base, and remove flower stalks if you prefer to prevent self-seeding. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 live garlic chive leek plants, shipped bare root.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836022751542,"sku":"FOLIA2-1869","price":83.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6632500509_62xl_d58118ef-6433-4061-a0f7-e7369415e01d.jpg?v=1793097434","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/50-live-garlic-chive-leek-plants-bare-root-edible-perennial-herb-for-organic-gardening","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
