Welsh Onion

(Onion green; Bunching onion) A bulbless perennial onion green like chives, but has larger leaves and a stronger, zesty flavour. Ideal for cooked vegetables, soups, stews, casseroles and quiches. Try them in homemade potato soup for a real treat. Easy to grow; and can be picked anytime ground is not frozen. Contrary to what the name suggests this onion is not actually from Wales; rather it came to Europe from China, probably in the Middle Ages. The name derives from the German welsche which means "foreign".
