Various alliums have been cultivated since the earliest times and are universally important as vegetables, flavourings, and medicinal plants. This is a bulbless, hardy perennial green onion. Like chives, but has larger leaves and a stronger, zesty flavour, yet milder than onion. Ideal for cooked vegetables, soups, stews, casseroles and quiches. Easy to grow; can be picked all year round if the weather is mild.
