Allium tuberosum

Commonly known as garlic chives. It is a close relative of ordinary chives; just the usual mild onion flavour is replaced by a sweet garlic flavour, especially when the leaves are young. Harvest the leaves regularly.

The allium likes sun or partial shade and is not critical of the soil in which it is planted. As long as it's not too wet. Grows in clumps.

Blooms for a long time and will attract bees, bumblebees and butterflies.

All alliums are deer resistant.

Height 40 cm, spread 15 cm

Flowers in June.
