Allium fistulosum A winter hardy, perennial, green bunching type onion! This heirloom onion has been growing in the Podoll’s gardens since the 1950s when William Podoll purchased the farm. The onion is believed to have been brought over from Prussia by William’s grandparents in the late 1800s. It has survived all the fury of Dakota winters for one and a quarter centuries. It is one of the first harvestable greens in the spring! Beautiful early summer flowers that attract bees. A unique offering from Prairie Road Organic Seed.
