Chive - Ciboulette

Chives do not have an edible bulb at the base. Chives are a completely different plant species than scallions, green onions and spring onions, which differ simply in their age. Scallions are young green onions, harvested at an earlier stage of growth. The white bulb of the scallion is the same width as the stem and the leaves. Green onions have an ovular-shaped bulb while spring onions are older and have a more developed round bulb. Chive is a vigorous perennial herb that blooms pale purple.

Siberian blue chives are native to eastern cold regions. They have bigger flowers for a beautiful garnish.
