Detailed Information
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are thought to be native to a wide area encompassing **Europe, Asia, and North America.** Essentially, they are circumboreal, meaning they’re found around the northern parts of the globe.
* **Europe:** Widely distributed across Europe.
* **Asia:** From Siberia and the Himalayas to Japan.
* **North America:** Parts of Canada and the northern United States.
Because of this broad native range, pinpointing a *specific* origin is difficult. However, their presence in so many northern temperate regions suggests a long history in these areas.
