Allium nutans - A beautiful, hardy, edible perennial onion. Blue Chives are a very rare plant. Produces pretty long lasting pink flowers in summer. The flowers being very attractive to bees and other beneficial insects. Frost hardy. 40 cms height. Blue Chives will grow in most moist well drained soil types. Grow in full sun to part shade.
