Chive Varieties

Common Chives

Common chives are one the first herbs to come up in the garden in the spring.

Features:

  • Common chives are perennial plants.
  • They have an onion flavor and smell which is what makes chives deer resistant!
  • Common chives have pretty pink flowers in the spring and white flowers in the fall.  The pollinators love the flowers too!
  • The hollow leaves and the young flowers are edible.
  • The plants will get up 12 inches high and wide.
  • You can get more common chive plants by dividing the plants or saving the seeds.
  • Common chives can grow in full sun or part shade.
  • They are drought tolerant too.

The last herb variety that I reviewed was Borage.
