Onion Certified Organic Chives
Description
Onion Chives are the classic kitchen herb that every cook should have growing within arm’s reach — fast-growing, endlessly productive, and delivering a fresh, mild onion flavor that elevates eggs, potatoes, soups, salads, spreads, and countless other dishes with a single snip. (Allium schoenoprasum) Beautiful thick blue-green leaves and charming purple pom-pom flowers make them as ornamental as they are useful. USDA-Certified Organic, perennial in Zones 3–10, and consistently productive — just harvest regularly to keep the leaves coming all season long.
The Classic Mild Onion Herb — Indispensable in the Kitchen
Onion Chives' mild, fresh onion flavor is exactly what’s needed whenever a recipe calls for a gentle onion note without the intensity of a full onion or the pungency of garlic. That approachable character makes them the most broadly useful allium in the kitchen — equally at home finishing a baked potato, folding into cream cheese, topping scrambled eggs, brightening a salad, or garnishing a bowl of soup. The leaves deliver their best flavor harvested fresh, making a garden-side planting the most practical approach for daily cooking use.
USDA-Certified Organic — Ready to Plant
Every Stark Bro’s Onion Chives plant arrives USDA-Certified Organic, potted in quality soil, and ready to plant. Harvest leaves by pinching them off at the base — the plant regrows continuously, and regular harvesting encourages the most vigorous, flavorful production throughout the season. Harvest in the early morning for the best flavor.
Purple Pom-Pom Flowers — Beautiful and Pollinator-Friendly
Onion Chives' cheerful purple pom-pom flowers add genuine ornamental appeal to herb beds, garden borders, and container plantings — and attract pollinators that benefit the surrounding garden. The flowers are also edible, with a mild onion flavor that’s delightful in salads and as garnish. Allowing some plants to flower while harvesting others maintains both beauty and productivity simultaneously.

Survival Guaranteed!


Since 1816, Stark Bro’s has promised to provide customers with the very best fruit trees and plants. It’s just that simple. However, because annual plants are naturally short-lived and complete their life cycle in a single growing season, our standard one-year survival guarantee does not apply to annuals. If your annuals arrive damaged or fail to thrive within the first 14 days after delivery, please contact us immediately so we can make it right. For all other plants, our full one-year warranty still applies. Read more about our warranty policy.
