Introduce style and function to your landscape with AlliYUM!™ Garlic Chives. This ornamental plant features flat leaves that add a burst of leafy greenery spring through fall. When Allium blooms in the summer, spiky purple pom-pom flowers hover above the foliage. The flowers last for 3 to 4 weeks. Both the leaves and the flowers are edible and feature a soft onion and garlic flavor. Garlic Chives can be harvested spring through fall.
This plant is heat- and humidity-tolerant, as well as deer-resistant. Plant AlliYUM!™ Garlic Chives in a border, landscape, or container. Allium can be used strictly as a beautiful ornamental or focal point, but it is also right at home in a vegetable or herb garden. Bees and butterflies are known to visit this perennial that grows in USDA zones 5 through 9.
Alliyum! Garlic Chives Care
Garlic Chives thrive in full sun, and this plant has medium water needs. Allium will need water when the top few inches of the soil dry out. Soil should be slightly acidic and have a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Feed Garlic Chives each year in the spring. Spent flowers can be cut back to maintain a tidy appearance.
This plant is very hardy and does not require any special winter care. Trim back the foliage in the fall or remove damaged growth in the spring before new greenery begins to grow.
Alliyum! Garlic Chives Spacing
Garlic Chives grow 10 to 16 inches tall, including the flowers that reach above the grass-like foliage. Leave 12 to 18 inches of space around the plants, so they have room to grow.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
