Chives are a perennial herbaceous plant with long, slender, hollow leaves that resemble grass blades. The leaves are typically bright green and grow in dense clumps. In the spring and early summer, chives produce small, spherical clusters of lavender to pinkish-purple flowers atop tall, slender stems. Both the leaves and flowers are edible and impart a mild onion flavor to dishes. Chives are known for their compact growth habit, making them well-suited for container gardening, herb gardens, and small spaces. They can be grown both outdoors in the garden and indoors in containers on windowsills or balconies. Chives are easy to grow and require minimal maintenance. They can be propagated from seeds, divisions, or transplants and will readily self-seed under favorable conditions. 

Scientific Name

Allium schoenoprasum

Foliage: Perennial-Evergreen

Leaves: In many climates, they are evergreen. In very cold winters, they will die back and return in early spring. The leaves are hollow, cylindrical, and grow in dense, tidy clumps that look like a tuft of thick, dark-green grass. The leaves have a mild, delicate onion flavor that is much less "sharp" than a standard onion or scallion.

Flowers: In late spring and early summer, they produce beautiful, globe-shaped pale purple or lavender flowers. These blooms are edible and have a light onion flavor.

Seeds: If the flowers are not cut off, they will produce small black seeds. Chives are prolific self-seeders and will gradually spread throughout a garden bed if the flower heads are left to dry.

Mature Height

12 – 18 inches

Mature Width (Spread)

12 – 18 inches (Clumping habit)

Growth Rate

Fast

USDA Zone

3 – 9 (Extremely cold-hardy)


Plant Care & Characteristics

Light Requirements: Full Sun to Partial Shade. While they thrive in 6–8 hours of sun, chives are one of the few culinary herbs that will still produce well in partial shade (4 hours of sun), especially in hot climates like Zone 9.

Water Requirements: Moderate. They prefer consistently moist, well-drained soil. They don't like to be waterlogged, but their thin, straw-like leaves will turn yellow and collapse if the soil dries out completely.

Drought Resistance: Moderate. Once established, the bulbs are quite resilient. In a drought, the foliage may die back to the ground, but the plant will usually resprout once water returns. However, the chives would benefit more from regular watering, especially during dry periods.

Soil Type: Rich & Well-Drained. They love soil high in organic matter (compost). They are fairly adaptable to different pH levels but prefer a neutral range of 6.0–7.0.They can tolerate a variety of soil types, including loamy, sandy, or clay soil, as long as it is well-drained. Incorporating organic matter such as compost into the soil can improve its fertility and drainage. 

Deer Resistance: High. Because of their strong onion/garlic scent and flavor, deer and rabbits almost never touch them. They are often planted as a "barrier" to protect more vulnerable plants.

Harvesting & Use

  • The "Cut and Come Again" Method: You can harvest chives throughout the entire growing season. Simply snip the leaves about 2 inches above the soil line. The plant will regrow new leaves from the base within weeks.Chives benefit from regular harvesting, which encourages new growth and prevents the plant from becoming overly leggy.
  • Culinary Uses: Chives are a versatile herb used in a variety of culinary applications. They can be chopped and added to salads, soups, stews, omelets, dips, and sauces for a mild onion flavor. Chive flowers are also edible and can be used as a garnish or added to salads for color and flavor. Chives are best used fresh, as their flavor diminishes when dried. Note: Always add chives at the very end of cooking (or as a garnish) because heat destroys their delicate flavor.

Awesome for hyper dogs
Color: Blue
AWESOME - I have a dog that just won't stop trying to get me to play with him ALL day! I turn this thing on and he goes nuts and tires himself out...without any help from me. The cover got torn off and torn up in minutes but he doesn't care. He just wants this ball. My other dogs, who are older, aren't really interested. But if you have a hyper dog this is the thing for you and them!

Great entertainment, charges quickly!
Color: Orange
Super fun entertainment for dog! Toy ball charges quickly and the charge lasts for at least an hour of playtime for the dog. There are 2 modes. one mode Just lights up, which makes it easy for pet to chase it. The second mode not only lights up, but it also wiggles on the ground Randomly and speeds off in a direction on its own, which really makes it interesting for your dog or cat to follow! Once the ball is not touched for about thirty seconds, it goes dormant and it will stay like that As long as it's charged until somebody touches it, and then it starts up randomly lighting up and moving around the floor on its own And making a vibration noise. It's a lot of fun to watch the dog chase and play with, and it certainly keeps them entertained for a while! The laughs and fun entertainment are definitely worth it. The only downside is that my dog chewed off the soft fabric covering in about twenty minutes.And she's not a real big chewer. It looks better with the covering on it, but even without it, the ball works fine and she plays with it every day.So that is not a showstopper. But good to supervise your dog for safety.In case they are a chewer, and they decide to destroy the cover. But the ball works fine without the cover too!

Looooves her crazy new ball
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Our 90lb mastiff/boxer mix Indie is very playful, curious and energetic. She needs toys that engage her and keep her busy. This ball does the job! We’ve had it for less than a week. Here’s what I love and what could be better: PROS: • She dog loves it. She whines for it. She gets absurdly excited when I get it out. She’s a bit of an anxious dog, but had zero problems with it inexplicably coming to life. • It lasts a while on a single charge, so it keeps her busy for a good long time. The longest we’ve used it at a stretch is an hour. • It’s pretty durable. She’s a super chewer (destroyed every “non-destructible” toy we’ve purchased for her), but the actual ball is hard plastic. She gnaws on it and it gets scratches, for sure. But she’s not going to chew it to pieces. • On carpet, it’s reasonably quiet. • It comes with a replaceable silicone button. • It’s easy to charge…just pull off the silicone button and the charging port is inside. • The silicone button is flush with the ball’s hard plastic surface, so there’s no way for her to pull the silicone button out and swallow it or get to the charging port. CONS: • Cover is worthless if your dog is a chewer. It goes on like an envelope with a Velcro closure. We took it off immediately. • Without the cover, it’s very noisy on hardwood floors. To us, it’s worth it. (Though, I work from home, so I might feel differently after the holiday vacation.) • She’s an XL dog, so she can fit the whole ball in her mouth easily and accidentally chomp down on the button and turn the ball off. Not a big deal, just something to know if you’ve got a Lab or larger dog. • With extended playtime, the two halves can come unscrewed, especially with a large dog who uses their paws/jaws on it a lot. Thankfully, it makes a loud buzzing noise when this happens, so we know we need to take it from her and screw it back together. Is this a potential danger? With the rechargeable battery inside, I’d say yes. But we also don’t let her play with this toy without supervision. So keep that in mind. Bottom line: It has its drawbacks, but it keeps her entertained and seems like it should last her at least 6 months with supervised play. Which is honestly REALLY good when we’re talking about Indie, Destroyer of Toys. I’d buy it again.
