Chives

Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are a perennial herb in the onion family, known for their mild, onion-like flavor and hollow, grass-like green stems. They grow in clumps and produce small purple flowers in late spring. Commonly used fresh as a garnish for soups, salads, eggs, and potatoes, chives add a delicate flavor without overpowering dishes. Easy to grow in gardens or containers, they prefer full sun and well-drained soil.
