"There's nothing like going out the garden, digging up a fresh spud, stopping by the chives to pick some spears, and making one of the best baked potatoes EVER!! Extra better and sour cream, please!
They started very easily and had a germination of about 85-90%. Not bad, and doesn't bother me since they reseed themselves. Am looking forward to a strong patch in the future.
If you want to keep them somewhat contained, you may want to plant them in a pot and bring them in during the cold winter. They'll love a sunny windowsill."

"If a chive is a chive, then this is it. Fall bunches were a little slow to produce, but they survived the AZ winter and came back this spring looking just like the picture, edible flowers and all. Great subtle flavor for 'taters and in omelets.
Plant shallow in fine soil for best results.
Splurge once in a while... baked potatoe, real sour cream, and fresh chopped chives. Makes you feel like you're eating like a king on peasant's budget. ;)"

"This is a must have in any cooks garden as it is so easy to grow, and adds so much flavor. No way you can not grow this either indoors or out. Put some seeds outside and save some for your winter window box. You can always have fresh chives on hand."

"I love these chives. I have several big clumps in my garden as well as a pot of them indoors for winter use. Great flavor for baked potatoes and salads all year."
