Common Name: Green
Chives The one must-have kitchen herb, chives are perfect for almost any savory dish. Snip the leaves in bunches at the base of the plant, then chop and use fresh or freeze for year-round use. The flower heads can also be used for an even milder onion flavor - they look gorgeous in salads! Outdoors, chives is a workhorse companion plant. Place it near almost any plant that is bothered by insect pests and the chives will instantly drive them away. |

Chives
If you like chives, you'll have to try garlic chives! The same great mild onion flavor is imparted with a distinctive garlic scent and taste. Both the flat, grass-like leaves and the 1 inch white flower heads can be used in a variety of your favorite dishes. Grow garlic chives just as you would regular chives, in full sun and well drained soil. This plant grows slightly taller than the regular chives, reaching 1 1/2 feet tall and 8-12 inches wide. |
