Welsh onion, Allium fistulosum, adds a distinct non-bulb onion type to a reseller seed range. Also sold as bunching onion, it is valued for its hollow green leaves and elongated leaf bases. Bulk seed selection starts with the species and the full variety name, since spring onion is not a species-specific trade term.

Welsh onion and bulb onion

Allium fistulosum is a perennial member of the Amaryllidaceae with rounded clusters of pale flowers. Its leaves and elongated bases distinguish the assortment from the familiar bulb-onion types of Allium cepa. The botanical name separates Welsh onion seed from bulb onion seed even when the common names overlap.

White and red catalogue selections

Winterhecke (white) and Commune rouge (red) are offered as white and red Welsh onion references. Ishikura long white is offered with a long, thick white shaft and dark green hollow leaves. These distinctions give seed merchants a concrete basis for comparing the named selections.

Bunching onion seeds for resale

For seed retailers and garden centres, keep the botanical name alongside the cultivar when comparing bunching onion seeds with spring-onion entries elsewhere in the catalogue. A wholesale enquiry can then identify the required selection and quantity without combining different Allium species under a shared common name.
