The Kitchen Garden Essential — Easy, Edible & Endlessly Useful
Common Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are one of the most rewarding herbs you can grow. Drought tolerant, virtually maintenance-free, and returning faithfully year after year, they’re a staple in herb gardens, kitchen windowsills, and container plantings alike. Every part of the plant is edible — from the slender, onion-flavored leaves to the beautiful purple blooms that bees absolutely love.
Growing Highlights
- Flavor: Mild, subtle onion flavor — perfect for eggs, salads, soups, dips, and more
- Edible flowers: Beautiful purple blooms taste great in salads and make a stunning chive vinegar
- Pollinators: Flowers are a favorite of bees and beneficial insects
- Dried arrangements: Flowers and foliage dry beautifully for everlasting arrangements
- Type: Hardy perennial — returns year after year with minimal care
- Drought tolerant: Unfussy and resilient once established
- Indoor growing: Grow in containers indoors for a year-round fresh harvest
- Light: Full sun to part shade
Why Gardeners Love It
Chives are the herb that keeps on giving. Snip the leaves throughout the season, let the flowers bloom for the bees, then dry the seed heads for arrangements — all from one low-maintenance plant that comes back stronger every year. A perfect first herb for beginners and a beloved staple for experienced gardeners.
