Description
The winter onion does not form a thick bulb; instead it provides mild, tube‑shaped scallion stems throughout the year. It is extremely hardy, remaining green under snow when fresh flavor is scarce. As a perennial, it reliably regrows after cutting.
Care instructions
Sow in spring or August directly into a sunny bed; the seed will overwinter for an early spring harvest. Keep the bed weed‑free and water moderately. Trim the tubes just above the soil surface if needed— the plant will regrow from the base and can be divided after several years.
