Chives

Chives are incredibly easy to maintain. Keep plants well watered, especially during long dry spells in summer. Rejuvenate congested clumps in the ground by lifting and dividing plants every three years or so. Preferring moisture retentive, well-drained soil and a sunny or partially shaded position outdoors, chives form 30cm (1ft) tall clumps and can also be grown in pots of soil-based compost. When plants have filled a container, either move into a slightly larger pot or lift the plant out and divide the rootbal
