Description: 200+ Garlic Chives Seeds Heirloom NON-GMO Always Fresh Seeds for Your Garden Allium tuberosum (Garlic chives, Oriental garlic, Asian chives, Chinese chives, Chinese leek) is a species of onion native to southwestern parts of the Chinese province of Shanxi and cultivated and naturalized elsewhere in Asia and around the world. A popular vegetable in eastern Asia, where the plant is often cultivated for its edible leaves, bulb, and flowering stems.It has been reported as growing wild in scattered locations in the United States (Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Nebraska, Alabama, Iowa, Arkansas, and Wisconsin). However, it is believed to be more widespread in North America because of the availability of seeds and seedlings of this species as an exotic herb and because of its high aggressiveness. This species is also widespread across much of mainland Europe and invasive in other areas of the world.Garlic Chives is often grown in gardens because of its attractive flowers and the culinary properties of the leaves. Allium tuberosum is a rhizomatous, clump-forming perennial plant growing from a small, elongated bulb (about 10 mm across) that is tough and fibrous. Unlike either onion or garlic, it has strap-shaped leaves with triangular bases, about 1.5 to 8 mm wide. It produces many white flowers in a round cluster (umbel) on stalks 25to 60 cm tall.It grows in slowly expanding perennial clumps, but also readily sprouts from seed. In warmer are as, garlic chives may remain green all year round. In cold areas, leaves and stalks completely die back to the ground and re-sprout from roots or rhizomes in the spring.Growing Garlic Chives: After danger of frost, sow Garlic Chives seeds in open ground well exposed. Cover Garlic Chives herb seeds 1/8 inch with loose soil. Keep moist until germination. Regular cutting helps keep plants vigorous and healthy and encourages spreading.
