This is one of the most important onions grown in China and Japan and weirdly there is no connection to Wales!
Plant in sun or light shade, preferably in well-drained soil.
Though drought-tolerant this plant benefits from regular watering during dry periods.
Harvest from the plant in its second year: the bulbs and leaves can be used in cooked dishes, salads and as a garnish.
