Allium schoenoprasum. Closely related to shallots, leeks, and scallions, this onion variety is used as an herb in most recipes. The pale purple flowers are edible as well, and add a delicious touch of onion to any salad. Plant somewhere spacious where they can overtake. Chives like to reign and are very handy to use fresh.
