I would recommend chives, they are so easy to grow and are a very
hearty plant. They grow fairly fast and they are great on anything as
a garnish or as an ingredient such as on a sour cream and chives baked
potato.

Also try garlic chives. Also very good. I have had the same chives and
garlic chives plants for several years
