MeadowSweet Herbs & Flowers Nursery and Herb Education Centre is now closed for orders from 16 December 2025 until mid-January 2026 while I take a short festive break.

Thank you for your continued support of my small, home-based nursery throughout the past year. I look forward to helping you grow plants for your kitchen, garden, and herbal home remedies cupboard when I reopen in the new year.

Wishing you a peaceful and nourishing festive season.

    $6.50

    Garlic Chives (Allium tuberosum) is a perennial herb in the Amaryllidaceae family. It prefers a sunny site with fertile, well-drained soil and is hardy across New Zealand. It grows to 40–60 cm tall in upright clumps, with flat, strap-like leaves and umbels of starry white flowers. Grown mainly as a culinary herb for its mild garlic flavour, it is also a useful pollinator plant and a hardy addition to cottage and edible gardens.
