Chives are one of our favourite Herbs. They treat us to lots of lush green flavour packed in clumps from April onwards. Every so often we treat them very harshly and chop them right down to ground level….but before you know it it they are back in full rich fresh growth once more. The chop always comes before the Chives send up their flowers. But come September we reckon they deserve to flourish and flower for once each year prior to autumn and winter dieback….and what wonderful flowers they are, each bud swelling and bursting into lots of tiny stars.
