Chives – Allium schoenoprasum
The Chive plants produce a large amount of nectar and are a favourite with bees, but they are repulsive to many insects in general due to their sulphur compounds. They are ‘herbs’ and are used in cooking, the green stalks and unopened immature flower buds are diced and used as an ingredient in many dishes hot and cold, also the chive plant has insect repelling properties that can be used in gardens as a pest control.
