There is a salad onion trial at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Wisley Garden and I managed to see them growing just before they were harvested. Allium 'Guardsman' (salad onion) is a distinct and innovative variety from the Tozer Seeds breeding programme. This salad onion combines the non-bulbing qualities of Allium fistulosum varieties and the reduced pungency qualities of Allium cepa types. A vigorous root system helps to maintain the strong, upright, dark blue-green leaves.
