We have these chives growing wild on the land. It seems a lot of front yards have them growing there, too.
I read where a woman loved the smell of chives being cut as she mowed her lawn. It reminds me of how we tame back the mints and throw the clippings in the yard before mowing it so the hot sweaty mowing person is treated to a refreshing blast of mint while they’re slaving away.
As far as the chives go for a lawn scent I think it would be good too.
Our chives seem to only grow in the ‘lowland’ of the mountain and not at the top. Now, we’re talking only a few hundred feet difference in elevation and I can’t swear that no chives grow up by the house.
But, the thing is there is a large patch of chives on the west side of the lane that seems to be thriving in a wooded area dominated by oak trees.
For some reason it always surprises me that chives would naturally grow in the forests of Pennsylvania. Who knew?
