Grape Hyacinths are edible, but taste nothing like Chive (obvs onion like) - Grape Hyacinths taste like sourish green grapes...I suppose it will get lost in a salad but not something to go wild for!
My worst mistake was not stopping my late husband when, on learning his cancer was terminal , he decided to make our half acre garden "safe" for me by planting ten, yes ten, Yucca gloriosa plants all over the garden, near the paths. That was 24 years ago. I have had various attempts to keep them from spiking visitors with the family's help ever since. They flower to about 16feet twice a year, June ans at Xmas but the spikes are lethal. The thought was lovely as we live in the middle of a huge housing estate but the work the thought has caused has been tremendous. i should have said NO.

We really enjoyed the home-grown chives from our garden. Then they flowered and we discovered they were grape hyacinths.
What do they taste like Berkley? Not poisonous I guess as you're still here.
In the sticks near Peterborough

Planted Golden Leylandi s a nice little tree in little garden .Now about 20 feet and to expensive to get cut back.

It was some time ago - but I think they must have tasted like chives! Nobody ever commented - and I use lots on salads...

Fairygirl, yes we ate the croissants but not with the peas!
...Marion, you have my sympathies... I had to get rid of two of those although they went to a lovely home...
...it was a nice gesture of your late husband's though... he meant well...
