Any advice on how to get chives started ?

I just bought a plant, stuck it in a pot, and watered it. Here in So
California, they become perennials if you keep them close to the house
in winter (in case a freeze comes).

Plant & stand back--- Even in northern NY they are a freely seeding
perennial tolerant of below zero temps in the ground.

Mine seem partial to well drained soil & full sun--- but other than
that they choke out weeds, tolerate poor soil, trampling, and heavy
cutting.
