Chives Garlic Geisha

2015 AAS Vegetable Award Winner

The second of three organic herbs in this grouping of AAS Winners, Geisha is a vigorous grower with a nice ‘just-right’ garlic flavor. Slightly wider, flatter and more refined leaves topped by pretty white flower stalks late in the season mean this is another edible that can serve a dual purpose as an ornamental.

Geisha is a great culinary herb for use in stir-fries, soups, compound butter, and as a fresh garnish for a variety of dishes. Although late flowering is a good thing in herbs, when Geisha does burst into bloom, the butterfly inhabitants in your garden will be very happy!
