Enjoy these two easy-to-grow full sun perennial herb seed varieties for planting in your home vegetable garden.
Common chives are a member of the allium family that also includes garlic, leeks and onions. Their mild flavor is reminiscent of these, without being overpowering. The purple flowers attract bees while being less attractive to other insects due to the sulfur content of their leaves.
Garlic chives are a hardy perennial with a flat, grass-like leaf with a delicious garlic flavor. This perennial herb produces mounds of plants with edible white flowers that attract pollinators to your garden. These seeds for planting in your family vegetable garden will help secure your family's food needs. Each package includes instructions for successful growing to help even a beginner gardener get started.
- Zesty Chives - Add some flavor to your baked potatoes, salads, and more with grass-like herbs. Their mild onion and garlic flavors pair well with lemon, fish, vegetables, soups, salads, and meat. The flowers of both common and garlic chives are edible and add a beautiful touch your dishes.
- Hardy Perennials - Garlic and common chives are both easy to grow small perennial herbs, producing mounds of plants. The garlic chives plant produces flat leaves with white blooms, while common chives have rounder leaves with purple blooms. Both will attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden.

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones.

Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
