Chives Seeds
Start chive seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil and cover, keeping the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days.
After the last frost, transplant seedlings to a sunny outdoor location, spacing plants 6 inches (15 cm) apart. Following these steps will help you establish a hardy, clump-forming patch of chives that offers both culinary and ornamental value in your garden.
