To do so, carefully dig up the chives and gently separate the clumps into smaller sections. Each section should have a few bulbs and leaves. Once divided, replant the bulbs with the pointy side ...
The edible flowers are used in salads, [36] or used to make blossom vinegars. [37] Both the scapes and the unopened, immature flower buds are diced and used as an ingredient for omelettes, fish, potatoes, soups, and many other dishes. [4] Chives have a wide variety of culinary uses, such as in traditional dishes in France, Sweden, and elsewhere ...
Allium tricoccum with open inflorescence bud (June 6). Allium tricoccum is a perennial growing from an ovoid-conical shaped bulb that is 2–6 cm (1–2 in) long. [4] Plants typically produce a cluster of 2–6 bulbs that give rise to broad, [5] flat, smooth, light green leaves, that are 20–30 cm (8–12 in) long including the narrow petioles, [4] often with deep purple or burgundy tints on ...
The inflorescence is an umbel of six to 20 white flowers, lacking the bulbils produced by some other Allium species such as Allium vineale (crow garlic) and Allium oleraceum (field garlic). [9] [8] [10] The flowers are star-like with six white tepals, about 16–20 mm (0.63–0.79 in) in diameter, with stamens shorter than the perianth. [8]
Available in shades of red and pink, these flowers bloom for weeks. Make sure to plant where there’s good air circulation around them, or they tend to get powdery mildew. Fast Facts

The inflorescence is a tight umbel surrounded by a membranous bract in bud which withers when the flowers open. Each individual flower is stalked and has a pinkish-green perianth 2.5 to 4.5 mm (3 ⁄ 32 to 3 ⁄ 16 in) long. There are six tepals, six stamens and a pistil formed from three fused carpels.
Each mature bulb bears a single flowering stem, which terminates in a downward nodding umbel of white or rose, campanulate (bell-shaped) flowers that bloom in July and August. The flowers are arranged into downward facing umbels and each flower is about 5 mm (3 ⁄ 16 in) across, pink or white with yellow pollen and yellow anthers. A. cernuum ...
