Description	Allium tuberosum Garlic chives are not mentioned in many of the old western herbals, but have been used in Asian cuisine for centuries. Like normal Chives, the are a hardy herbaceous perennial. The only differences being they have a mild garlic and onion flavour, and small white starry like flowers. They are great in pots or in the ground, preferring full sun to part shade. They can grow up to 50cm tall, and splitting the plant every few years will help ensure the plants survival. When harvesting, cut the leaves near to the ground, as it's better for the plant. Garlic chives are great used in salads, stirfrys, rice, and as a garnish for curries, soups, and potatoes. They will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Alternatively you can preserve them in butters, oils and vinaigrettes. 4"/10cm pot size.	Cercis canadensis  The Cercis canadensis 'Little Woody,' often referred to as the Canadian Redbud, is the smallest variety of its kind. It reaches a height and spread of up to 2 meters, making it a fantastic choice for adding greenery to compact spaces like small gardens, terraces, or balconies. Its distinctive flared shape adds charm to any landscape. In the spring, this plant truly comes alive with an abundance of small pink-violet flowers that bloom in clusters along the bare branches and trunk. Developed through American breeding, the 'Little Woody' is exceptionally resilient, able to tolerate a range of temperatures. 8"/20cm pot For care instructions and additional information, click here!
