SPRING: early spring in plug trays for transplanting into pots. In late spring you can sow in situ when the soil is a little warmer. Clear around established clumps and perhaps feed them. Divide clumps up every three years or so into smaller clumps, replant adding a little boost of compost
SUMMER: remove the flower stems to encourage more leaves.
AUTUMN: pot up a clump for the window sill to give you fresh chives in the winter.
USES: great for WILDLIFE, an RHS pollinator plant and a tasty & tempting EDIBLE too.
