Description: The subtle garlic flavor of Garlic Chives are perfect for use in uncooked dishes where raw regular garlic might be overwhelming or too spicy. Garlic chives is a hardy perennial that will grow to about 12 inches high. The stems are skinnier and flat, instead of hollow as are regular chives. The stems and blooms are both edible. The plants do self seed so clip the blooms before the scatter seed if you do not want additional plants popping up.
