The walled garden at Gordon Castle, Scotland, has used Allium fistulosum (Welsh onion, bunching onion, long green onion, Japanese bunching onion, onion-leek, stone leek) as an edging plant. The leaves of this decorative 'cut and come again' onion can be used in a similar way to chives (although their flavour is stronger) while the flower shoots (which are not as pungent as onions) can be added to salads.
english is my first language in almost every way that matters but i specifically have a lot of trouble with food words. you would not believe how long it took me to figure out the correct english term for the thing that grows in my backyard
i have so many plants and i keep getting them but they're so lovely to handle... technically a year long hobby so far and I've ONLY accumulated 9(?) of them but I understand why plant people are like that now
The edible plant Allium triquetrum (triangular garlic, three-cornered leek, angled onion, onion weed) is considered an invasive species in some countries. It will quickly cover the ground and is very challenging to remove!
