Chive
Chive, a plant related to the onion and grown for its grasslike, hollow leaves, which are used in seasoning. The rose-purple flowers bloom in clusters. Chives for home use may be grown in flower gardens or in small pots. The tender young leaves are used in salads, cheese mixes, soups, omelets, and similar dishes. New leaves replace the ones taken if the plant is healthy.
The chive is Allium schoenoprasum of the family Lilaceae.
