Thanks for your note. Chives are a wonderful perennial herb once established. The spot you describe could support chives if you keep it watered. Chives like full sun best, and moist well-draining soil. To start from seeds, we recommend starting chive seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost. (See local frost dates.) Transplants need good growth before being set in the garden. If you are sowing outdoors, do so as soon as soil is workable; they can take a few weeks to germinate, and prefer soil temperature to be between 60º and 70ºF to do so.
