Dear Marie,
I grow ramps in my ginseng patch. These gourmet wild forest onions don't
make much of a bulb and they don't make sets in the tops. It doesn't sound
like Egyptian onions either since they do make sets in the tops, but they
don't make much of a bulb and aren't especially good keepers so far as any
I've ever grown. Good luck, but I think you better keep up your search.
Best,
Hugh Lovel
Blairsville, GA
