Chives are small, dainty, onion-like plants that grow in clumps reaching about 10" in height. It is a hardy perennial with decorative light purple flowers. Chives make an excellent container plant, or as a nice addition to a border. Their mild flavor makes them a good choice to use in soups, salads, meats, potato dishes, or as a garnish.

Harvest tender leaves anytime after the plant reaches 6" in height. Cut low to the ground, leaving about 2" so the clump keeps producing. Most attempts at storing chives yield poor results. In the case of chives, fresh picked is the best!
