Chives are a popular culinary herb for the home garden. Grown for the mild onion flavour of their leaves and flowers, they attract wild pollinators to your garden while helping deter damaging insects such as Japanese beetles. Used in cooking for over 5000 years, Chives are also cultivated for their ornamental value in the flower garden, and traditionally have been used for their medicinal properties. Very easy to grow, they are rewarding plants to grow outdoors in the garden or indoors in pots
