Chives are a hugely useful and popular perennial herb, often a mainstay in many people’s herb garden ideas, as well as in vegetable gardens. It is a plant perfectly suited to growing in pots, lining edges in the yard, or even thriving indoors on a sunny windowsill.
One of the reasons they are so much-loved is due to their simplicity, they are easy to grow and require little maintenance each year. Their stems are harvested and used in salads, sauces, and more, while their edible blooms can brighten up dishes as a colorful garnish.
