seeingreen's Chives Care Instructions
Try for a seed spacing of at approx. 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.51 inches (1.3 cm) if planning to sow direct.
Ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant - Chives is known for growing to a height of approximately 45.0 cm (that's 1.46 feet in imperial).
Your garden has full sun light which is ideal for Chives.
Remember to water moderately.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (8b) is within the ideal range for Chives. The recommended range is between Zone 3 and 9.
Chives ideally needs a soil ph of 5.2 to 8.3 (acidic to alkaline soil), so check your soil acidity regularily.
More information about Chives is available in the Folia gardener's wiki. All Chives Care Instructions have been kindly provided by our members.
