Chives 'Staro'
‘Staro’ is an onion chive selected as a top variety for freezing or drying for later use because of its heavier leaves. That also means that the leaves are less likely to flop over in wind and rain, making it an excellent selection for Kansas! Try substituting these chives for scallions in recipes if you don’t want to make a special trip to the store. Chives are also excellent over roasted vegetables!
Height & Spread: ~16”
A Note from the Grower
I love chives in the garden because there is no easier herb to grow, and they’re always around, ready for the picking. There are two main chive flavors—onion and garlic. Both are important cornerstone herbs to include in your garden. In my opinion, they are also one of the more beautiful plants in the onion family. Their pom-pom-like flowers bloom in shades of pink to lavender each spring and the blooms are also edible! Chives are extremely hardy and are usually the first perennial herbs to emerge each spring.
