Chives – Garlic Chives
aka Chinese chives (Allium tuberosum) can be used the way you use regular chives. Distinguishable from chives by their flat, broader leaves & fragrant white edible flowers in midsummer, in the 2nd year of growth. Flowers make a great addition to bouquets. The budded flower stalks known as "gow choy" can be found in Chinese grocery stores.
Pull the florets apart and sprinkle on salads, dips, sauces, soups, stir-fries, and pizza & potato salad. Flavour is a delicate garlic, midway between garlic & onion - used extensively in oriental dishes. Good choice for those who shy away from full-flavoured garlic.

Figwort (Scrophularia nodosa)
Figwort is a hardworking perennial herb that will flower the first year from seed if started early. Great for medicinal use, cut flower filler and pollinator magnet! Recommended by Erin at Floret
Branching plants produce an abundance of long stems smothered in rather inconspicuous, chocolate and green hoodlike blooms, similar to snapdragons, which ripen into egg-shaped seed capsules and those seed pods are just the perfect bouquet filler for interest and movement!
Figworts are among the most prolific nectar producers in the plant world!
