About Onion Chives

Onion Chives, Allium schoenoprasum, is a versatile perennial herb – a delightful addition to any garden, featuring thick, blue-green leaves and charming purple pom-pom flowers. These fast-growing herbs are ideal for both garden beds and patio containers, adding aesthetic appeal as well as culinary versatility to your outdoor space. With their distinct onion flavor, Onion Chives elevate a variety of dishes, from soups and salads to spreads and eggs. Harvesting the leaves regularly not only encourages continuous growth but also ensures a fresh and vibrant flavor for your culinary creations. In addition to their culinary uses, Onion Chives also attract pollinators to your garden, contributing to a thriving ecosystem.

How to Grow Onion Chives

Our organically grown Onion Chives thrive in full sun exposure and well-drained soil, making them suitable for gardens, containers, and even confined spaces. These low-maintenance herbs require moderate to high water levels, with watering as needed to keep the soil evenly moist throughout the season. To promote robust growth and a bountiful harvest, feed with a vegetable fertilizer and ensure adequate spacing between plants. Harvest the leaves as needed by pinching them off at the base of the plant, preferably in the early morning for the best flavor. With proper care, Onion Chives will flourish, providing a continuous supply of fresh, aromatic foliage for your culinary adventures.

Our USDA-Certified Organic herbs are sustainably nurtured, ensuring superior quality and taste for your herb garden.
