Common chives (Allium schoenoprasum) pop up early with hollow, oniony leaves ready for omelets, potatoes, and vinaigrettes. By late spring they drum with lilac pom‑pom blooms that feed bees and make edible garnishes. Perennial and cold hardy, chives prefer sun and decent soil but tolerate neglect. Divide clumps every few years to refresh vigor. Snip leaves frequently to keep them tender; let a few flower heads set seed if you want volunteers. A small patch by the kitchen door means you’ll never need grocery‑store clamshells again—fresh flavor is a quick step outside.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly into the garden around average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 60-65°f. Or, start seed indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden around average last frost date in the spring. The flowers should be gathered just after they open to prolong blooming. Plants can be divided once they are established, around 3-4 years.
