A hardy and easy to grow herb with a mild onion flavor that can be used fresh, cooked, or dried. The flowers are also edible and will liven up a salad in no time. The plant will grow into a thick clump that can be divided every 3-4 years. You can harvest the leaves by cutting or pinching off what you need for that meal, or cutting the whole plant back to the ground 3 or 4 times a year.
