I've got tons of garlic chives. They've been scattering seed for the past 8 weeks, and I appear to have new growth coming up, or at least I did until this past weekend. They're hardy as heck and hard to kill off, so choose carefully where you want them.
The upside is that the blossoms attract allot of bees to your garden. Any of my tomatoes near or surrounded by the garlic chive blossoms were loaded with fruit. Between the garlic chives and the marigolds, I didn't have a sign of aphids or other insects munching on probably 90% of my plants. The only ones that were under attack weren't near either the chives or the marigolds.
