Garlic Chives (Allium tuberosum) 韭菜
Nice perennial herb and vegetable. I usually use scissors to harvest the whole plant from the ground level. They are very hardy and so easy to grow in any full sun to partial shade location. White flower balls in summer attract bees and butterflies. Flower stems before flowering is vegetable, good for stir-fry. Flowers are good for cut flower use. Self seeds easily. Plant clumps can be divided in early spring for propagation. Cold hardy and heat tolerant. USDA Zones:4-13. Mature size:2′-3′(H) x 1.5′-2′(W).
很好的多年生香菜和蔬菜. 我通常是用剪刀在土表面高度剪下整棵. 它們非常強健並容易栽種在任何全日照到半日照處. 夏天開白色小花球,頗吸引蜂蝶. 花苞可食,花可做切花. 容易自行結子繁殖. 也可於初春時分株來繁殖. 耐寒也耐熱. 成熟植株高約2-3呎,寬幅約1.5-2呎.
We had some of those on our salad tonight!! So yummy!!
I like it, too! Chinese make this kind of food, perhaps you want to give it a try.

mmm they sound and look very nice I will give them a go 🙂
Everyone tried this, they all enjoy the food very much! It is a famous breakfast/snack food in Taiwan.
Fantastic can’t wait to try it 🙂
Ours are blooming like crazy now and they’re soooo fragrant.
I was wondering, by the way, if you might know what this is? http://thisgotmyattention.wordpress.com/2014/08/29/name-that-wildflower-please/
I saw something similar to this on your blog, the Zebra Mallow, but it didn’t look exactly like this. Do you think it’s a Zebra Mallow?
Looks like it’s a zebra mallow but it seemed hybrid one with other mallow that is why not 100% same.
