Chives, Garlic (Allium tuberosum)

Allium tuberosum - Hardy herb with slightly flat, broad leaves and fragrant white flowers that makes a nice addition to Chinese and western recipes. Chinese chives, as it's sometimes called, is a close relative of ordinary chives and is just as easily grown. The normal mild onion flavour is replaced by a pleasantly sweet garlic flavour, especially when young, and regular harvesting will ensure this. Height to 30cm. Priced for: 1 litre

Use: Especially useful when garlic bulbs are out of season or unavailable and may be kept under protection over winter.

Please Note - During the winter months (typically from November to March), this plant will be supplied in a dormant state, ie; there will be no visible growth above soil level
