Allium tuberosum (Garlic Chives)

Garlic chives are a hardy, attractive perennial known for their edible foliage and flowers, which bloom in August. They are among the most versatile of edible flowers, ideal for fresh salads or cooking. With a clumping growth habit, garlic chives spread by self-seeding, with new seedlings emerging in the following spring. They thrive in perennial beds, and all parts of the plant are edible, making them a useful addition to any garden.
