Chives bear small white elongated bulbs and thin tubular leaves, which grow in clumps. Dense spherical umbels of bluish or lilac flowers rise above the foliage. They characteristically produce only a few seeds. Chives may be propagated by planting seeds but are cultivated more commonly by dividing the clumps and planting the tiny bulbs.
