Default garlic chives

I recently found a packet of seeds called garlic chives, or "lazy garlic"
claiming to be a chive-like plant with a garlic flavour/aroma. Anyone tried
it? And was it any good?

Yes, frequently, and yes, very good. They grow just as claimed - into
garlic flavoured chives. Their botanical name is Allium tuberosum and
they are also known as Chinese Chives, Cuchay, Nira and Jiu cai.
