Garlic Chives

Allium tuberosum

Garlic chives (Chinese chives) have flat, solid leaves with a mild garlic rather than onion flavour, and produce attractive white, star-shaped flowers. They are slightly larger than common chives and tolerate heat better. Used extensively in Asian cooking and increasingly popular in Western herb gardens.
