Chinese Garlic Chive (Allium tuberosum)
1 healthy plant sent in plastic-free packaging, producing flat, garlic-scented leaves that are a staple in Asian cooking and return reliably each year. 9cm pot.

Chinese Garlic Chive is a clump-forming perennial with flat, strap-like green leaves and clusters of star-shaped white flowers in late summer. The leaves emerge in early spring and stay productive through autumn, providing a consistent, low-maintenance harvest from a compact and tidy plant. It blends easily into borders, herb beds, or container gardens and makes a graceful ornamental as well as a reliable food crop.
The flavour is a mellow mix of chive and garlic, ideal for dumplings, stir-fries, soups, and egg dishes. Leaves can be cut regularly without affecting regrowth and are best harvested when young and tender. The flowers are also edible, adding a mild garlic kick and visual appeal to salads and garnishes.
It is hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and attracts pollinators when in bloom. Left to flower, it gently self-seeds, helping to form a long-lasting patch with very little input. Versatile, resilient, and richly flavoured, Chinese Garlic Chive is a garden essential for year-round cooking.
