Herb

 

Allium schoenoprasum

Perennial. Hardy to USDA zone 3. With beautiful edible lavender-pink flowers and delicate onion-flavored foliage, chives should be in every garden. Not many plants do as many things as this plant does AND are easy to grow, maintain, and come back every year! The edible flowers make a tasty pink-tinted chive vinegar, look & taste great in salads, and dry well for arrangements. The foliage is an excellent garnish for most foods. Easy to grow in almost any soil, containers, or a sunny indoor windowsill for use year-round. With chives on hand, your fish, chicken, vegetable, and baked potato dishes will never be lacking in flavor! When to plant outside: In early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or as late as 2 months before first fall frost. When to start inside: 6-8 weeks before last frost. Special Germination Instructions: Seed requires darkness to germinate. Make sure seed is planted 1/4" - 1/2" deep in soil.
