In reply to Christine Patricia Erickson. Christine, Yes, your chives will come back to life indoors. I did this in November when the ground was still soft enough to dig. Cut the chives back to about 4 inches and follow the steps outlined in this article: Potting Up Chives. Look out for pests. I had a cutworm in the soil that would come out at night and munch on the foliage. It took me a while to catch him in the act with a flashlight.

I’m wondering, I have an established plant next to the house. Would you think if I separated some bulbs and transplanted them inside they would come to life? It’s mid-January here in Wisconsin and we are having a mild winter… Thank you,
Christine

In reply to Cassy. Cassy, These are the bulbils of common chives (Allium schoenoprasum). Nothing rare about it.
