(Chives) A mix of beauty and flavor is what AlliYUM™ brings to the garden. Planted for both ornamental and edible purposes, AlliYUM™ is a flat-leaf garlic chive that tempts the taste buds with a blend of light onion and garlic flavors. Standing 10-16 inches tall and spreading up to 18 inches wide, the upright mounding habit of AlliYUM™ features lavender ball-shaped flowers mid-summer. These edible flowers last for 3-4 weeks. Planted in full sun locations, the fragrant foliage and flowers are both edible. This easy-to-grow perennial is heat tolerant and prefers well-drained soil. Hardy in zones 5-9, AlliYUM™ can be planted in vegetable gardens, and also makes a great border plant in landscapes. If container gardening is more your style, mix AlliYUM™ with your favorite herbs for an aromatic container garden.
