Notes
'Chinese Leeks/Garlic Chives' garlic (Allium sativum 'Chinese Leeks/Garlic Chives') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer. It takes 90 days to reach maturity, and the fragrant plants attract butterflies.
Pairs well with Fennel, Salad burnet, Supersweet 100 tomato, and Honeoye strawberry.
