Chives Herb Seeds Packet

Chive seeds grow the clumping perennial allium that supplies its mild onion flavour from March straight through to frost, hardy across zones 3–9. Shido chive seeds are non-GMO and hermetically vacuum-sealed — if you want to know how to grow chives from seed, a pot and patience cover it — while paper packets lose germination viability within a year. In late spring the clumps produce edible purple flowers, a second harvest that scatters mild onion-flavoured confetti over spring salads. My neighbour Priya divides her clumps every third year and delivers the spares door to door the way other people deliver a casserole, which is how our whole street ended up growing the same plant. One packet, handled this way, quietly becomes a permanent municipal supply. Every lot is germination-tested at independent third-party labs before packaging, making the printed germination rate laboratory fact rather than label poetry.
