Leaves flatter and broader than English chives.  Excellent garlic substitute for home use.  Chop leaves and add to stir-fry, salad dressing, or sandwich.  Cut and come again type of vegetable that always seems to be there just when you need it most (ie when scrambling eggs and there's nothing green in the house). Used in organic growing to repel insects and burrowing mammals.  Plant prefers regular garden soil, full sun to part shade.  Space 1 to 2 feet apart.
