Chives are a hardy, perennial herb that will grow just about anywhere.  Though, they will do best in sun-part sun with well drained soil.  Divide these clump-forming herbs every three years.
Uses: Fresh leaves have a mild flavor (either onion or garlic depending on variety). Use fresh in salads, on potatoes or many other hot dishes.  A member of the onion family—these keep aphids at bay in the garden.

Varieties:

  • Garlic (flat leaf, white flower)
  • Onion (round leaf, purple flower)
