Yes - it's just like chives! I've tried to grow it several times in a trough, but it never flowers the following year , and just dies. Either it has deep roots, or it is much happier in its native habitat. I once saw it growing profusely just above the beach in Bracklesham Bay (long before that was developed as a resort) Beautiful!

[Sticki - I can imagine you getting into all sorts of scrapes taking your lovely pics!]

I probably haven't had it in the right place. I do love it. I've got plenty of chives, though!
