I just moved some of my chives to my main garden. They are scattered all over, in every garden. No problem growing these. Keeping them from taking over is the trick.

hotwired's Herbs: Chives Care Instructions
If sowing directly, aim to sow 0.51 inches (1.3 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm).
Ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant - Chives is known for growing to a height of approximately 45.0 cm (that's 1.46 feet in imperial).
Your garden has full sun light, which is a great match for Chives.
Remember to water moderately.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (5b) is within the ideal range for Chives. The recommended range is between Zone 3 and 9.
A soil ph of between 5.2 and 8.3 is ideal for Chives as it does best in acidic to alkaline soil so test your soil acidity often.
