Know before you buy
Yes, both the foliage and the purple flowers are edible. The leaves have a mild onion flavor perfect for garnishes, while the flowers add a subtle, peppery bite to salads or herb butters.
Yes, chives are hardy perennials. Once established, they will return each spring, providing a reliable harvest for many years.
Chives are quite adaptable and will thrive in either full sun or partial sun. For the most vigorous growth and flower production, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily.
Chives have a natural, pungent scent that can help deter common garden pests like aphids and Japanese beetles. Planting them near other vegetables can act as a gentle, organic companion barrier.
