Chives
Chives
Perennial. Allium schoenoprasum
50 seeds per packet.
Chives rightfully deserve their place as one of the most common garden herbs, they are valuable in virtually every landscape. greens are delicious for use in the kitchen almost year-round. It is super easy to grow and divide, so cut your chives back monthly for a fresh tender harvest!
Allow it to flower for the benefit of pollinators and to please the eye. It will reliably produce beautiful, edible purple flowers which are rich in nectar to support pollinators. Large patches can be half repeatedly cut and half ignored and allowed to flower for the best of both worlds!
