Notes
'Geisha' garlic chives (Allium tuberosum 'Geisha') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Bees visit the blooms from early to late summer, and the clumps tolerate drought.
Pairs well with Dolce Fresca basil, Fernleaf dill, Black Magic kale, and Purple prairie clover.
