Chives are a perennial member of the onion family that sport beautiful edible flowers. Plus, they’re a wonderful companion plant that helps deter pests. Common chives consist of clumps of small, slender bulbs that produce thin, tubular, blue-green leaves reaching 10-15 inches in height. The edible, flavorful flowers may be white, pink, purple, or red, depending on variety.
