Herb, Chive Seeds

Herb Chive Seeds grow a hardy perennial herb with a mild onion flavor that is easy to grow indoors or out. Chives are container- and garden-friendly in full sun with adequate moisture, and as a cut-and-come-again variety they produce all season. Dig up a clump to pot indoors for chives year-round.
