Description
Common chives are a staple kitchen herb, producing slender, tubular leaves that can be cut and regrown repeatedly throughout the season. Their delicate onion-like flavour is perfect for garnishing potatoes, eggs, soups, and creamy sauces. The spherical purple flowers appear in late spring to summer, providing both edible garnishes and excellent nectar for bees and butterflies. Easy to grow, chives are hardy perennials that thrive in most soils and conditions, making them ideal for both herb beds and ornamental plantings. Clumps can be divided every few years to maintain vigour and expand one’s stock.
