Hello
I was given some Garlic Chives yesterday and wanted to know if anyone out there had grown them,
if so does it spread like its cousins the chives, do you look after them in the same way and do you use them in the kitchen in the same way?
I would like to try them and even if I don't like the taste, they look very attractive as a plant.

If they're like chives you can get away with putting them in your herb bed. The roots don't spread like mint and neither do they bush like rosemary or lemon balm.

Agree with zoomer and yes! to the rest.
They are no thugs. If anything like it a tad dryer than ordinary chives and worth letting them flower to collect the seeds, they don't die down quickly like chives if you do this.

I know I said I would grow them in a pot but I still like the idea of them in my herb bed because as I said before they have very attractive flowers an I love chives anyway.
