  1. I’ve always loved chives and grown them in my garden but still I didn’t know all these things about them! Like how really healthy they are. I think I’ll divide mine and spread them around my yard since they are so pretty when they bloom, too.

    Thanks for the info, Brenda!

  2. Amazing information. I had no idea. They were growing wild in Georgia where we were vacationing years ago….someone was mowing and the smell of the cut chives actually made me hungry!

  3. I love chives and I had no idea they were so beautiful or that they’re perennials. I’m definitely going to try planting some.

  4. I did not know all this, great little tidbits, Brenda! I just grow them because I love the flavor. Mine were just starting to come back when we got that whopper of a snow storm – they are still buried under 3+ feet of snow, I wonder how they are doing under there?

  5. I have grown chives in a pot on my deck. Only problem, they grow so fast and don’t know if I should cut them down on in a while. Enjoy the mild flavor. Ours never flower. Are there different types. We had allium in our old home. Super facts.

  6. I like to pick some of the flowers at their peak and put them in the freezer in a baggie. Take a flower or two out anytime and pull apart so the florets can decorate a salad. The flavor is a little milder than the the stems.

  7. People on blood thinners should be careful eating chives. Jean
