Description	Correa baeuerlenii Correa Chef's Cap is a dense, round Australian native plant with glossy green leaves, red stems, and lime green bell shaped flowers shaped like a chef's hat. This shrub grows best in sheltered partly shady areas of the garden, in well drained soil and once established will tolerate extended dry periods. Attracts all wildlife. Mature growth: 1-2m.	Allium tuberosum Garlic chives are not mentioned in many of the old western herbals, but have been used in Asian cuisine for centuries. Like normal Chives, the are a hardy herbaceous perennial. The only differences being they have a mild garlic and onion flavour, and small white starry like flowers. They are great in pots or in the ground, preferring full sun to part shade. They can grow up to 50cm tall, and splitting the plant every few years will help ensure the plants survival. When harvesting, cut the leaves near to the ground, as it's better for the plant. Garlic chives are great used in salads, stirfrys, rice, and as a garnish for curries, soups, and potatoes. They will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Alternatively you can preserve them in butters, oils and vinaigrettes. 4"/10cm pot size.
