Plant Care & Harvest

Allow plants to establish before harvesting. Cut the leaves a few inches above the soil to encourage fresh growth, and avoid removing too much foliage at one time. Regular harvesting helps maintain productive plants. Divide mature clumps when they become crowded.

Geisha garlic chives can also produce attractive white flowers. Remove spent flower heads before seeds mature if you want to reduce self-seeding.
