Chives, Mongolian
Perennial
This is another herb that was given to me by Allium expert and renowned seed saver, John Swenson. Mongolian chives have become my go-to chive variety because of their robust flavor and because they are so easy to grow. They always look good, even in the heat and drought of the summer! The leaves are flat like regular Asian chives, but wider and thicker for more flavor and substance. They grow back quickly after cutting. The flowers are pale lavender and the bees love them!
