Allium tuberosum Garlic Chives
Allium tuberosum Garlic Chives is a robust, clump-forming perennial herb, valued for its flat, strap-like foliage and distinctive mild garlic flavor. Growing to about 12 to 20 inches tall with a spread of 10 to 12 inches, this variety is perfect for herb gardens, borders, and container plantings where both culinary utility and ornamental beauty are desired. Unlike common chives, garlic chives bloom late in the season, offering a display of white, starry flowers that bridge the gap between summer and fall while providing a continuous harvest of savory greens.
Culinary and Practical Uses
- The flat, tender leaves are a staple in Asian cuisine, adding a savory garlic punch to stir-fries, dumplings, noodle dishes, and soups.
- Both the flower buds and open blossoms are edible, offering a sweet, mild garlic flavor and a beautiful garnish for salads and savory plates.
- Traditionally used in herbal practices to support digestion, boost the immune system, and promote healthy circulation.
Characteristics
- Foliage: Flat, solid, dark green leaves (unlike the hollow leaves of onion chives) with a delicate garlic scent; ideal for stir-fries, dumplings, and garnishes.
- Growth Habit: Upright, expanding tuberous clumps that return reliably each year; suitable for edging and pollinator garden
- Flowers: Produces showy, spherical umbels of white, star-shaped blossoms in late summer to early autumn, which are highly attractive to bees and butterflies and are also edible.
- Seeds: Harvested after flower heads dry and open to reveal hard, black seeds; can be used for sprouting or saved for next season's planting.
Growing Requirements
- Sun: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; flower production is best with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight.
- Soil: Adapts to most soil types but prefers fertile, well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
- Water: Requires moderate watering; established plants are somewhat drought-tolerant but produce the tenderest leaves with consistent moisture.
- Spacing: Plant seeds or clumps 6 to 12 inches apart to allow for lateral spread
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers immediately to prevent aggressive self-seeding; divide clumps every 3 to 4 years to maintain vigor and spacing.

Haven’t transplanted yet, but it’s a beautiful plant. We are gifting it to a friend that moved…Friendship Plant is very appropriate!
I love it
Truly tiny is still tiny but healthy!
It seems to be doing well but could have been packed better.
Blossom Dale did a wonderful job with packaging and Sedum Autumn Joy plants arrived in great condition and are thriving. So far so good.
The milkweed is not doing well...
Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃
Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.
Got this for my wife’s birthday. Plan to pot it soon.
I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!
Came in well packed and the plant was alive and healthy!
Even though the newest leaf was broken off it seems to be doing well
My little banana arrived happy and healthy!
The plant arrived well packaged with instructions on how to get started. It had been doing really well and has been growing like a weed!
It is just putting roots down now.
Received in great condition, transplanted just before heavy rain and its thriving
Just a little shock put her in a fabric pot on the back porch full sun should be happy thank you for the lovely plant
Fair price good looking plant can’t wait for it to get bigger!
Need to upgrade your packaging. I would suggest taping the plant in place in the cardboard tube on the count that it slid and smashed itself. Luckily, it's a strong plant and should recover. Hoping.for the best.
So Beautiful. Packaged well . Love my little guy.
It’s so cool I love it!!!
She is doing well even after a rough delivery. She is thriving and putting on new growth. Thank you.
The plant arrived after a few delivery reroutes. It came with three leaves two so far are healthy one was dying and has since died. The two remaining leaves appear to be doing well.
After overcoming the initial travel stress. The plants are doing well.
The follow up plants were very good
Customer service here is second to none! Very very happy and already made another purchase. But anyway, I ordered 1 and they sent me 2 beautiful babies! I'm so excited to watch them grow!
This little guy came in perfect. Despite the cat knocking it over and being placed in the soup cup for safer keeping, it’s thriving and happy. Once it’s bigger then it will make its way outdoors.
I like it very much and looking forward to eating some cherries
This is my first year of ordering live plants on line. I live in an apt, but have a nice size patio to do container planting. I'm waking up my green thumb and loving it.
Got a great little house plant for $9.99!!!
I am very happy for all the Butterworth I got extra like usual which was nice I put them all in pots for now I'll do my project later after they get growing thank you
Plant came packaged perfectly. Fast shipping. Can’t wait to see it grow!
I received what I believe is a very healthy plant. Unfortunately, the shipping was very hard on the plant. It is quickly bouncing back. Wish I would have known it was a seedling .
The package arrived with no issues. The fig was very stable & looked like it came out of the nursery (it did). The USDA certificates for Gypsy moth /Japanese beetles ensures the plant were checked makes me feel I finally found an institution which cares about the customer & plant. Thanks Jose
Thank you
I’m excited about this tiny banana tree and can’t wait to see it grow more! It came well packed and in perfect shape. Now this beautiful little plant has burned leaves, but that’s my fault because I left it out on my patio in the sun for a long time. Don’t do what I did. But you can see a new leaf already sprouting in the middle and just about to unfurl. I have no doubt this tiny tree will grow well.
Cute and healthy
