• Harvest the leaves by clipping them back to 1 inch above the ground; new leaves will emerge.
• Add fresh leaves to salads, soups, cream cheese, butter, or sandwiches.
• Sprinkle the florets on salads.
• The leaves and flowers also make flavorful vinegars. Try adding the pink-lavender blooms to white vinegar—they will give it a light onion flavor and a beautiful pink color.
• After garlic chives plants flower, the attractive seed heads may be harvested and used in herbal wreaths and arrangements.
• Include garlic chives in perennial borders, herb gardens, vegetable and containers, indoors and out.
