Chive Varieties

Common Chives

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

Best Features:

1) Common chives are perennial plants.

2) They have an onion flavor and smell which is what makes chives deer resistant!

3) Common chives have pretty pink flowers in the spring and white flowers in the fall.  The pollinators love the flowers too!

4) The leaves and the young flowers are edible.

5) The plants will get up 12 inches high and wide.

6) You can get more common chives by dividing the plants or saving the seeds.

7)  Common chives can grow in full sun or part shade.

8) They are drought tolerant too.

9) The leaves are hollow.

The last herb variety that I reviewed was Stevia.
