In-Depth Information
Bunching onions are known by many names. You may find them in seed catalogs as
Japanese leek, nebuka, scallion, spring onion, multiplier onion, green onion, and Welsh
onion. Bunching onions are native to Siberia and have no botanical connection with
Wales, though they do look a little like leeks and are a common crop in Welsh gardens.
They're more economical than immature onions, since they increase in number
throughout a long season, while an onion produces a single immature scallion at the ex-
pense of a mature bulb. So, grow your regular onions to maturity and plant these true
scallions for your green onions.
