Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Fantastic flowering Herbs, the very flavorful Garlic Chives (Allium tuberosum) is a perennial plant with edible foliage, scapes, and blooms that fill your garden and kitchen with lovely flavor and aroma! With an incredible garlic flavor through and through.
These perennials return bigger and better each year with their long, cylindrical greens, vertical bunching form, and white pompom blooms that bees and butterflies adore! The blooms look like their Allium cousins and look pretty in the garden border and in a bouquet!
Garlic Chives are hardy throughout USDA growing zones 8 and up, these are fast-growing annuals that quickly grow so you will enjoy a great harvest of all the Garlic Chives you need. But these easy-to-grow Herbs also do well in containers and can be brought in or grown as a houseplant on a sunny windowsill.
Planting and Application:
Garlic Chives have a wonderful mild garlicky flavor to their leaves, the Garlic Chive scapes, and the open blooms can be minced and added to soups and salads, in baked dishes and bread! Fresh or dried, you'll love the flavor of these onion relatives!
Use these upright fine-textured flowering Herbs that look great in Perennial gardens, Veggie and Kitchen gardens, in Herb gardens, and pollinator gardens. If you don't deadhead, Chives self-seed and fill an out-of-the-way area with blooms. Pot up as vertical lacy filler in containers and planters and mixed containers anywhere in the sun.

- Edible Green Slender Foliage

- Annual Herb & Pollinator Accent
- Garden Beds & Borders, Containers & Planters - Indoors & Out
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Garlic Chive Herbs are easy-care and need full sun to do their best, and plant them in well-drained enriched soil with moderate moisture. Deadhead to stop self-seeding, or pluck them off for use in salads and as garnish. Before frost, container plants can be brought in for the winter in cold hardiness zones, or completely harvest your plants near the base of the plant. Otherwise, prune back plants in warm growing zones to clean them for next year.
- Full Sun or Bright Indoor Light
- Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate But Regular Moisture
- Pinch Back to Encourage Branching
- Great Annual Herbs or Perennial in Mild Winter Climates
