Makes loads of little bulbs (~5-20 per plant) that will also resprout. Young greens can be eaten all winter, or left to mature until February and then eaten as a slender sweet leek all spring. Plants may also form small seeds some years, depending on weather and location. (Here in Virginia, so far they’ve seeded once in four years.) Besides being started from seeds, the plants can also be propogated by dividing the bulbs in spring or fall; bulbs should be spaced out every few years to avoid overcrowding. Starter package (4 oz)
