Very easy to grow, and thrives for up to 30 years the ultimate low maintenance crop! Origin China. Latin name Allium tuberosum. Thriving in your plot for up to 30 years from a single planting, this extra long living plant will reward you with decades of gourmet veg harvests in your back garden. If all that wasnt enough they will decorate your garden with a dusting of white star shaped blossom throughout the summer! The leaves can be harvested to within 3cm of the ground up to 3 times per year, 4 if using cloches. However if the delicious flower buds are what you are after then only cut 2 harvests one in early summer and one in late autumn, so the plant has sufficient reserves to give a decent crop of both leaves and flowers. Like with many flowering plants, the more you pick the more they produce, so keep snipping throughout the summer for maximum harvests. Sow February April. Harvest August November.
