Chives

Chives are easy to grow and provide not only tasty foliage, but also beautiful blooms. The grass-like foliage has a mild onion flavor and can be snipped throughout the growing season. This plant blooms in late spring, sending up lavender, pink, or white globes, which are also edible. The flower puffs attract pollinators and can be used in cut-flower arrangements. Plant chives in herb gardens, rock gardens, and perennial beds as a ground cover or vertical accent. They also grow well in raised beds and containers for easy harvesting.
