Cut-and-come-again chives with a taste of garlic Decorative white flowers, which our pollinators love
Garlic chives grow and flower much later than ordinary chives (I'm still picking them in November), so have a succession of both varieties if you have room.
Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
