In Central Russia, this beautiful onion is a familiar sight on the plate! The bulbs are 3-6 cm in diameter and have a good onion flavour. The leaves and (edible) flowers are just as good: fresh, oniony and aromatic!
Ornamental onions (or alliums) are very popular! They bloom from May, a time when garden chairs can be brought out!
