Garlic chives – Allium tuberosum

The following description concerns Allium tuberosum generally. Allium tuberosum is a perennial Allium with flat, solid leaves and white, star-shaped flowers in umbels. These characters distinguish garlic chives from the hollow-leaved Allium schoenoprasum. The foliage has a garlic-like aroma, while exact vigour, leaf dimensions and seed-lot performance remain selection dependent.
