Garlic Chives
Garlic chives, also known as Chinese leeks, have flatter leaves and large, white, star-shaped flowers. They have a rich garlic flavor and are commonly used in Asian dishes. Garlic chives are best used as a vegetable rather than an herb, and can be eaten raw or cooked. The plant is larger, more robust, and slower to grow than other varieties, but are also long-lived and have been known to thrive for a decade in the same spot. The edible flowers make a great garnish for soups and salads.
