About Purly Chive Plants
Introducing our Certified Organic Purly Chive Plants, a must-have addition to your culinary herb garden that brings a delightful fusion of flavor and beauty. Cultivated in Europe since the Middle Ages, these chives boast medium-sized, straight, upright leaves that can be enjoyed fresh or dried.
Their sweet onion flavor is reminiscent of traditional culinary delights. Harvest these versatile plants 3-4 times per year before flowering, simply cutting back to ground level. But it’s not just the leaves that make these chives a standout – the edible purple flowers burst forth in a stunning display that can be used to elevate your salads, soups, pizzas, and sauces.
