Garlic Chive Goodness

Garlic Chives - Allium tuberosum -a favorite perennial herb!

High in Vitamin C and carotene, garlic chives are a wonderful culinary substitute for garlic.

Garlic chive butter may be our favorite use of this herb - simply blend the chopped chives into creamed butter and enjoy an herbally-elevated butter for fall cooking. So good!

Now’s a good time to keep an eye on your garlic chive flowers. The white flowers will soon go to seed and spread throughout your garden.

To prevent a chives-gone-wild situation, it’s best to cut the flower stalks shortly after they bloom.
