everlasting onions

I have loads and always have grown them. Even back in Zimbabwe before we moved to the UK..

If anyone wants some to grow please pm me..

I also bought some different variety seed recently here - http://www.seedparade.co.uk/products/Onion_Spring_Ishikura_500_seeds-347-1.html

You can get red and white varieties of 'Welsh' / bunching onions'

gavin's link shows Ishikura a white bunching onion I've grown - your link is for red Welsh onions so you shouldn't have Ishikura 

So you have the red and the white 

The ishikuri made nice hardy spring onions but they didn't seem the same thing as the Welsh onions in my garden, although they're probably just different varieties.

Wiki thinks they are

I've been inspired by this thread and bought some welsh bunching onions from eBay Plot not ready to plant out but I'll also put them into some decent sized pots until I'm ready to plant them properly

perutile is a false Welsh onion, fistulosum is the Welsh onion

really interesting to read this thread - I love leeks / chives etc.. and have some heritage Babbington leeks in my garden (they are slightly garlicky, very delicious).

I was intrigued about the welsh red everlasting onion after reading about it here. I just found this onion here that seems to be what the original poster was looking for - a red everlasting onion:

I also bought some some of the white Japanese allium fistulosum (Thomson + Morgan) as a substitute for the Calcotts I ate recently when I was lucky enough to be in the Pyrenees. If you leave them in the ground and earth them up, they become like leeks - yummy!

I'll try to remember to come back on this thread with my results - perhaps this time next year?

Sounds like a plan! Will join you in sharing my results too
