Planting and Care Instructions (From this Label)

Start outdoors, in a sunny location, once soil has warmed to at least 65º F. Sow seeds 2" apart and 1/4" deep. Soil should be moist, fertile, rich and well-draining. Once seedlings emerge, thin so plants are spaced 4-6" apart. Moisten the soil thoroughly when watering; and water consistently to encourage high yields. Feed every 4-6 weeks. When harvesting cut leaves down to the base, within 1-2" of the soil. Harvest 3-4 times the first year and monthly in subsequent years. Give your chives a headstart! Plant seeds inside 4-6 weeks before the last frost date and then transplant seedlings when they're about 2" tall. Put chives to work in your garden. Chives are great companion plants helping repel carrot flies, aphids, cabbage worms, and other pests.
