Allium Schoenoprasum – Purple One also known as Chives, is a new series that has multiple uses such as ornamental, in borders in the garden, as a kitchen herb, and is an excellent pollinator plant! This has been a reliable kitchen herb since the medieval times. It is important to do your own research however before consuming any plant! This plant is very nice in small groups and also in large drifts. It has large and rich flowering and uniform growth. The flowers are a brilliant violet-purple color, and the foliage is long tipped, medium sized tubular, and is a green – bluish color. It has a blooming season that lasts from May to August, can be grown in either full sun or partial shade in well-draining soil and will grow up to 12 inches tall. Another great feature of this plant is that it is both heat and drought tolerant. These flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. These are native to Balkans, and Western Asia to Siberia. Another characteristic is that it is easy to grow, so this is a great plant for the beginning gardener!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
