Planting and growing techniques

Growing Vilmorin chives remains accessible to beginner gardeners. Sow your seeds between February and May, maintaining a spacing of 15 cm between plants. Whether in pots, planters or directly in the ground, gently firm the soil after sowing and maintain regular moisture without excess.

To optimise growth, favour a sunny to partially shaded position and well-drained soil. Chives tolerate slightly calcareous soils perfectly and adapt well to urban conditions. For winter growing, protect your plants with a frost fleece or bring containers indoors to extend production through to the following spring.

Beneficial companion planting and expert tips

Vilmorin chives excel in smart companion planting. Their proximity to carrots significantly improves root growth while enhancing their sweet flavour. This natural synergy helps optimise the space in your planters while creating a beneficial ecosystem.

For an optimal harvest, regularly cut the sprigs 2-3 cm from the ground, thus stimulating regrowth. Avoid letting them go to seed if you wish to maintain a supply of tender foliage. Expert growers recommend dividing the clumps every 3-4 years to maintain plant vigour and extend your aromatic herb garden.
