You will receive a live chives plant in a 2-3" pot. Chives or Allium schoenoprasum are a tasty member of the Amaryllidaceae or Amaryllis family with an onion-like flavor. They’re sometimes known as onion chives, common chives, or wild chives. Chive plants are an easy-to-grow, hardy perennial that’s an excellent addition to the kitchen herb garden. Chive plants are also excellent dual-purpose plants for the edible landscape. Fresh chives are a tasty addition to various dishes, and their grass-like leaves and globe-like, purple flowers look right at home among a rock or cottage garden. Onion chive plants are also great for container gardens, and you can even overwinter them indoors. Herbalists add fresh chives to herbal salts, vinegars, shrubs, and oils. If ordering during the fall/winter season this plant is going into dormancy please see the information included in the care guide to best take care of your plant for successfully preparing your plant to thrive next growing season. This depends on the growing zone you are located in, please research before buying.
