Description
Organic Common Chives are a variety that stands out for their upright and vigorous growth, thick dark green leaves, productivity, and flavour. Chives are part of the 'fine herbs' and are ideal for enhancing salads, omelettes, or fresh cheeses. The Polyvert variety is an aromatic plant with round and hollow leaves, forming a clump about 40-45 cm (16-18in) high. It can also be used in ornamental gardens as its flowering is charming. The plug plants of this variety are certified organic. They can be planted from April to July. Harvesting takes place from June to October.
The chive, also known as Cive, is a tasty perennial aromatic plant. It belongs to the same family as garlic, onion, and shallot. It has a clump-like habit and thin hollow cylindrical leaves. It is a perennial plant that will be cultivated for two or three years because beyond that, it tends to exhaust itself and become less productive. It will then need to be divided. Chives are a must-have in herb gardens, but there's nothing stopping you from mixing genres and planting them everywhere in the garden, especially at the base of roses: its pompon-like pinkish-purple flowers are charming and its aromas repel aphids and prevent black spot disease.
When it comes to cooking, the fresh, garlicky, and slightly spicy taste of its sprigs is suitable for many dishes: omelettes, stuffings, savory tarts, or seasoning fresh cheeses.
Harvest: The harvest of chives extends over a long period, from late spring to autumn, and is simply done with scissors by cutting the stems at the base of the clump. Regular harvests stimulate the renewal of the foliage.
Storage: Chives can be stored for a few days in the refrigerator or for a few months by drying or freezing. However, it is preferable to consume them freshly picked to fully enjoy their aroma.
Gardener's tip: To reduce watering, we recommend mulching the soil with thin successive layers of grass clippings, preferably mixed with dead leaves. This protection helps keep the soil moist and also reduces weed growth. Chives do not require watering except in case of extreme heat.

Planting and care
Organic Polyvert Chives thrive in full sun or partial shade, in moderately rich soil. If compost is needed, it should preferably be added in autumn, in the form of well-rotted compost (no manure), by raking it in to a depth of 5 cm (2in), after loosening the soil as is done for all vegetable crops. We recommend planting chives in different areas of the garden: in the sun for spring harvests and in partial shade for summer harvests. In the vegetable garden, they do well next to carrots (protection against flies) but do not appreciate being next to legumes from the Fabaceae family (beans, peas, broad beans).
Planting:
First, grow the plug plants by transplanting them into trays or pots with a diameter of 8 to 13 cm (3 to 5in), filled with compost. Place them in a warm and bright location. Water regularly.
For planting in open ground, choose a sunny or partially shaded location. Space the plants 20 cm (8in) apart in all directions. Loosen the soil deeply. Dig a hole, place the plant in it, and cover with soil. Firmly press down and water to keep the soil moist.
Chives can also be grown in pots. In this case, plant the plug plants directly in the pot, handling them delicately.
Chives produce attractive flowers, but it is recommended to cut off the tough flower stalks before they bloom to preserve the aroma of the foliage.
Chives are very easy to propagate, they can be divided into clumps from March to May and from September to October.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
