Tasty little member of the onion family where every part can be eaten - leaves, stems and unopened flowerbuds. Very popular in east Asian cooking and a pretty garden plant in flower. It's a bit rambunctious so best grown in a pot or other contained space.
Allium tuberosum - garlic chives - seed
PLANTING: Sow year round in most climates avoiding extreme heat and cold. Sow seeds into seed raising mix in small clumps of 2-4 seeds, later thin to the strongest plant. Vigorous, so grow in pots and deadhead flowerstalks before they set seed if you garden near bushland.
USE IN: Use to flavour Asian dishes and as a substitute for garlic or onion.
CARE: For best results water regularly and apply liquid fertiliser monthly. Perennial in most Australian climates; snow or hard frost will kill growth above ground but plants usually regrow from the roots in spring.
