You will get chive seeds from the white flowers that are produced in the late summer.
Seed Saving Tips:
1) Since chives like to self sow, you should cut off most of the other flower heads and stems so you don’t get too many chive plants next spring. Save one or two flower heads for saving seeds.
2) You can leave the flower head to dry on the plant (for the best results) or once it starts drying you can store it in a brown bag. Once the flower head is completely dry, it will look like the featured photo above.
3) You will be able to save quite a few seeds from each flower head. The seeds will look like the front of the photo above.
4) I like to keep the seeds in a small bowl to completely dry out for a few more days.
5) Store the seeds in a brown bag or an envelope until next season. Don’t forget to label the packet with the variety and the year saved.
It’s been a while since we talked about saving herb seeds – the last one was for basil!
