Hi Andi, and welcome to the vine.
I too had a problem growing chives,kept some in a pot last year, and although they died off over winter, they have come back, but Ive now planted them out.

I get a feeling that they like it a bit moist,but not overwatered. The best crop I saw belongs to a neighbour who had them in a big pot and left them at the bottom of the garden behind some overgown grass. They really grew well. Maybe they like a bit of shade?
good luck this year.
