Allium Schoenoprasum – Crystal White Ornamental Chives can be used both for culinary and ornamental uses. It has wide clumps of grassy looking leaves that are green to bluish green that are topped with spheres of white flowers. They have a blooming season that lasts from April to May, can be grown in either full sun or partial shade and are adaptable to any soil type with average to dry soils (so sandy, rocky, clay), and will grow between 12 – 16 inches tall. It is also heat and drought tolerant. Chives is an old culinary herb but is being used more and more in ornamental horticulture because it is very adaptable, tough, and easy to grow. These flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. It is native to Balkans, and Western Asia to Siberia.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
