Chives 'Silver Chimes'

Chives will grow in any soil conditions, and although they prefer sunny positions, they will tolerate some shade.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Silver Chimes is generally regarded as a hardy plant, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter. Silver Chimes needs a sandy, clay and peat-rich soil with a ph of 5.2 to 8.3 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.51 inches (1.3 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between Chives plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 15°C / 59°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Silver Chimes about 28 days before your last frost date.

Silver Chimes is hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in mid summer.
