Chives

Bright shade or part sun. Semi-evergreen in warm winters, though most years it will freeze to the ground. Cut back to 2-3″ as needed to refresh tired foliage. The hollow leaves are edible and provide a softer flavor than many onions and garlics. Six-petaled pink flowers appear in late spring and attract bees; however, for the most part, the odor of garlic makes chives an effective insect repellant and it is often planted for this purpose in gardens.
