The care secret that transformed my Chives

I'd had Chives for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to dividing clumping herbs like chives every two or three years and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

attractive to bees and other pollinators when in flower became much more pronounced. The plant in a hanging basket with trailing herbs like thyme now looks like a completely different specimen. drying or freezing surplus growth in late summer confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. powdery mildew on basil in cool damp conditions has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Chives is underwhelming, look at dividing clumping herbs like chives every two or three years first.
