About Chives
Chives are one of the hardiest and most low-maintenance herbs — plant once and harvest for years.
Plant in any reasonable soil. Cut leaves to 5cm from the base for regrowth. Divide clumps every few years. The purple flowers are edible and attract pollinators. Note: toxic to dogs and cats.
