My step-sister has a huge garden that is completely over-taken with chives. Whenever ive grown chives, they have at most grown about 10 inches and stopped. Hers are easily over 2 feet tall, and the stems are VERY woody. They are blooming and the flowers are a tad larger than ping pong balls. They def are alliums, but... Do chives REALLY get this big, or is this some other allium??? I planted a bunch of them just for how pretty they are, but im put off by the woody stems....Any ideas guys??? -cassie
