Chives are always in season, and ready to impart their multifaceted flavor to salads, stews, soups and sandwiches. Perennial plants will bring you years filled with scrumptious flavor. Each year the hardy plants unleash ever-larger crops of pungent, scrumptious onions. Allion's flat-leaf, chive-like greens are tasty when young. Come spring, pretty flowering plants show off blazing purple masses of fragrant (non-edible) vertical spikes. Bulbs overwinter readily.
