Allium schoenoprasum

This useful and decorative perennial herb will grow with little trouble in any garden or in a window-box or pot. The attractive pink flowers and rush like leaves make it an ideal edging plant.

Allow 15cm (6in) between the plants and keep watered during the growing season. Chives will grow in any good garden soil in sun or partial shade.
