Chive seeds — mild onion flavour and edible flowers

Chives are one of the easiest and most useful herbs — slender, grassy leaves with a mild onion flavour, snipped over almost anything, plus pretty pink edible flowers. The species is gathered under Allium schoenoprasum within our culinary herb range. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Chives are easy from a spring sowing — the herb calendar shows when.

Leaves and flowers for the kitchen

The hollow leaves are a mild, oniony all-rounder, and the pompom flowers are edible too, pretty scattered over salads and loved by bees. A clump-forming hardy perennial, chives sit among our perennial and aromatic herbs and do beautifully in pots.

Growing chives from seed

Sow in spring in small clumps, in moist, fertile soil in sun or part shade. Snip regularly to keep tender new growth coming, and the clumps bulk up year after year. They're a classic companion plant, said to help deter some pests.

Building a herb garden? Here's where to look next.
