subject: When and how should chives be harvested? [print this page]
Chives can usually be harvested once the leaves have reached a useful size, often several weeks after active growth begins. Use clean scissors to cut the leaves a few inches above the soil rather than pulling them out. Harvesting regularly encourages fresh growth. Avoid removing all the leaves at once; leaving some foliage helps the plant continue producing energy. Chive flowers can also be harvested when fully open and used in salads, herb butter, dressings, or as an attractive garnish. Visit Now: growing chives
