Chives are a wonderful and delicious addition to any garden. Most people only use them in the herb garden, but they make a wonderful border in any garden. Chives will grow in a variety of habitats, but give the best flavor and bloom when grown in fertile, damp soil. They bear large globular balls of purple or pink flowers in the summer.
