One of the nicest edible flowers, and a lovely perennial for shade. Leaves are flat, rather than tubular like regular chives, and grow to about 1/2" across. The white starlike flowers as well as the tender leaves are outstanding in salad. Gives true garlic flavor in a mild juicy form. I like this as an edible landscape plant, under fruit trees or large shrubs. At home in the shadier part of the herb garden as well. Long-lived clumps spread to gradually make a blooming groundcover in moist areas. Also great in containers, either with flowers (blue pansies are my favorite with this) or with salad greens. Known in Chinese cuisine as Hiro haba. 100 seeds
