Using Chives in the landscape
In Z 5, I find that if I leave the chives to flower (which my husband loves
on salads) and I don't get them all snipped off, the seeds do spread. I've got clumps coming up in places within a foot of my initial clump. Cheryl "Bunny McElwee" wrote in message ... I had a pot of chives from last year that I let go over the winter months and actually thought I had killed it. Its in a pot now, and even after being covered in snow, it came back and now has tons of purple flowers on it. I've heard of people using them in their landscapes, but is this a good idea? Do they spread or stay in one clump? Do they go to seed prolifically and create many more plants around them? What are your experiences with using them in the landscape? They are such beautiful flowers, it seems a shame to not utilize the flowers as well as gain from the chive production. -- Bunny McElwee '91 Mariner Blue - BlueFlash (we call her Blue for short G) License Plate - IXCLR8 Jackson Racing Cold Air Induction, chrome interior accents, Racing Beat Chrome Double Hoop Style Bar, FM Sway Bars, Heim End Links, Koni Adjustable Shocks (lowest perch), JR Sport Exhaust, JR Cat, Moss Headers, JVC MP3 Player, Bazooka Powered Subwoofer with internal 4 Channel Amp, silly grin (driver and car!) and too much more to list. |
