Chives

Allium schoenoprasum

Chives, Allium schoenoprasum, are a versatile herb known for their delicate onion-like flavor and thin, grass-like leaves. A favorite in culinary dishes, chives can be used fresh or dried to enhance soups, salads, and egg dishes. They thrive in sunny locations with well-draining soil and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Chives produce beautiful purple flowers that are also edible, adding a pop of color to your garden or kitchen windowsill. Regular harvesting encourages new growth, making chives a low-maintenance and rewarding herb to grow.
