Welsh onion, Allium fistulosum is known as 'scallion'

 

I was reading my food from your garden allotment book and came across the onion page and welsh onions.  I remembered your post chooknewbie and saw this: they are hardy non bulbous perennials also known as ciboules or green onions.  They grow 12" high and resemble multistemmed salad onions.  The shoots are pencil thick and grow in close tufts, the shoots are used as salad onions and the leaves in the same way as chives.  Lift and divide the clumps every three years.  I have seen them called everlasting onions as well.

If this is of any use to you.

I've bought Welsh onion seeds anyway so hopefully i won't run out in future
