The species originated in Asia, possibly Siberia or China. The name "Welsh onion" has become a misnomer in modern English, as Allium fistulosum is not indigenous to Wales. "Welsh" preserves the original meaning of the Old English word "welisc", or Old German "welsche", meaning "foreign".
The Welsh onion does not develop bulbs and possesses hollow leaves scapes. Large varieties of the Welsh onion resemble the leek, such as the Japanese 'negi'. Smaller varieties resemble chives. Many Welsh onions can multiply by forming perennial evergreen clumps. Also known as bunching onion, green onion, spring onion, scallion, escallion and salad onion. These names are ambiguous, as they may also be used to refer to any young green onion stalk, whether grown from Welsh onions, common onions.
