Allium fistulosum var. caespitosum
Winter scallion
Common names: Winter onion, Chive onion
Category imageThis description was machine-translated.
Description
The winter scallion does not form a thick bulb but dense clumps of tender, tubular green shoots that remain hardy through the winter. Even while the rest of the garden is still dormant in February, you can harvest fresh green for the kitchen.
Care instructions
Plant once in well‑draining soil and divide the clumps every two to three years in spring. Cut the tubular leaves close to the ground as needed; they regrow quickly. Requires little care and can survive harsh frosts without protection.
