A perennial herb which produces broader leaves than normal chives, and has a delicate garlic taste. A tasty addition to salads and cooked dishes. Aphids are repelled by aphid plants but ladybirds love them, so they’re a great choice for keeping aphids at bay! Harvest March-October. Height 30-40cm (12-16″).
