Perennial Welsh onions do not have seeds, well, ours don't.

The one with the blue flowers sounds like being garlic chives. Annual - it is not really, but so grown as quality deteriorates with years apperantly - Welsh onions will produce seeds, but then they are a different thing, look more like chives.

I had a look on t'internet and there are so many types of these perennial onions and 'they hybridise readily' quote ............so IMHO it looks as if there's no way of 100% identifying what you have growing.
It either suits you and you grow it or you dig it up.........or is that too easy :lol:

you can buy the seeds from the mamoth onion co.
If only we could teach the Slugs to only eat the Weeds, and then the Pigeons to only eat the Slugs!

Very much so, even the quoted garlic chives would be as a species white flowered, you can get them all sorts of colour though as they cross-breed readily,  a blue flowered one will be a hybrid, certainly, don't know how good to eat, only have seen them in ornamental garden catalogues before this post.

But then, lawn chamomile is also sold by nurseries, when it also does not set seed, they just selling somewot else. :lol:

But Richy should know a load more about this issue. 8)
