I planted them because I've heard that they are bred from wild onions that are foraged for. I was curious if I would like the bulbs, but with their large wide leaves I was also curious how those might taste. So when I walked past them both I decided to take a nibble. I can tell they are alliums, but I was shocked by how very mild the leaves were on both plants. The Mount Everest leaves somehow even reminded me a bit of cabbage....??? I will be experimenting more with these leaves as they get larger.
i added Egyptian walking onions under my cherries last summer . anxious to see how well they spread.
