Chives (Allium schoenoprasum)
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum)
Chives are a hardy, easy-to-grow herb valued for their mild onion flavour and versatile culinary use. Allium schoenoprasum is a staple in herb gardens, offering both edible leaves and ornamental appeal.
This herbaceous perennial forms clumps of slender, hollow green leaves with a fresh, onion-like taste. In late spring to early summer, it produces round, purple pom-pom flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and can also be used as an edible garnish.
Chives are well-suited for herb gardens, containers, borders, and raised beds. Their tidy growth habit and repeated harvest potential make them an essential addition to any edible garden.

Sun Requirements ▾
Full sun is ideal for vigorous growth and maximum harvests. Plant in a location that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Chives will tolerate light shade but produce the best foliage and flowering in sunny locations.
Watering Instructions ▾
Moderate. Keep soil evenly moist during active growth. Once established, chives tolerate short periods of drought but perform best with consistent moisture.
Care Tips ▾
Harvest leaves regularly by cutting stems near the base to encourage fresh new growth. Remove flower heads after blooming if you wish to prevent self-seeding, or leave them to attract pollinators. A moisture meter is a great way to gauge your plant's moisture levels.
