Dolores is a new chive variety bred for uniformity, upright growth habit, dark green color, and excellent flavor. It comes from Johnny's Selected Seeds, which touts it as "ideal for gourmet use," and specifically notes that it is good for fresh use. Chives and other alliums grown from seed should be started indoors a few weeks before last frost. Our seed was produced in Minnesota by EFN.
