Wayside Gardens Allium Ornamental Chive
Best low-maintenance perennial for pollinator-friendly edible gardens.
This is the rare ornamental that earns its keep in the kitchen as much as the garden. You get a reliable, low-maintenance pollinator magnet that doubles as a fresh garnish, though you will need to stay on top of dividing the clumps to keep them from taking over your beds.
