Although native, this is a rare plant in the wild, being generally confined to rocky calcareous grassland in SW England and South Wales. Where it is found elsewhere, it is probably as an escape from old herb gardens. Chives have a distinctive onion-like smell. Bees collect both nectar and pollen from this plant.
