A really easy to grow perennial with loads of deep blue-green leaves that looks fab in any border and is great in pots too. Come the summer in their second year, you’ll get a perfusion of pretty pink / purple pom-pom flower heads that the pollinators will adore. Great in the kitchen, their mild onion flavour gives a lift to salads, coleslaws and flavoured butters, or you can stir through cheam cheese or soured cream for that classic, comforting jacket potato. A must for any garden.
Approx. 500 seeds.
Botanical name: Allium schoenoprasum
- Grown by: Carolyn Moody
Like most alliums, they can be sown both indoors and out during the spring – early spring for indoor sown, and mid to late spring when the soil’s warmed up for outdoor sown. I sow mine indoors, sprinkling the seed fairly sparingly over some moist potting compost in a seed tray. Cover with a fine layer of compost and put the cover on to help maximise the warmth. Once they’ve germinated, leave them for 2-3 weeks, or until big enough to handle, then harden off and plant out in clumps into a sunny spot about 18″ foot apart. Dig in plenty of organic matter initially, and water regularly throughout the season.
