| The barncats of the horticultural world. Easy and self-sufficient - a little TOO easy in fact. Flowers are nice in bouquets or if still young and tender, strewn in salads, omelets or as a garnish. In short, remove the flowers one way or another unless you want chive plants everywhere. They will last for decades and you couldn't kill them with an axe. Tasty and versatile seasoning plant when a milder onion type flavour is desired, and often supply a welcome touch of green to your dishes. |

| Love my chives. Had this bed for 26 years now, dividing, transplanting, and letting it reseed. I pot up chives to bring indoors every winter, give them away, and can't wait to see them in the herb garden in March. I dry lots of chives, chop and freeze them, and add them to summer canning recipes.

| I have been neglecting mine for two years now and it produces constantly. Never bothered by pests and has spread out to cover the pot it is growing in. |

| Chives are a wonderful addition to my herb garden! I planted them in a pot, and then planted the pot in the ground (it has draining holes). This will make the winterizing easier. I like to use my chives like I do green onions, especially in salads. |

| I've had success with chives for years now. In Alabama, chives perform well despite our droughts and red clay soil. With a little fertilizer and water during very dry periods, anyone can have a never-ending supply of fresh chives...
That is, if you dig them up and put them in a pot before your first frost. I keep mine under a 2-sided carport, and they do just fine here. Of course, our winters are mild. You'll also need to divide them up maybe once every year or two. If you don't have room - give a clump or two to some friends!
Nothing beats a baked potato with fresh chives ; ) |

| The perfect beginner's herb garden plant. Aside from black aphids, nothing else bothers it. Leaves and flowers have the same subtle oniony taste. |
