CONT

"White Lisbon" est le plus fréquemment employé pour les plantes repiqués d'oignons verts en bottes. A part l'oignon en bulbe il existe un type d'oignon vivace en bottes, qui se divise à la base pour donner de nouvelles pousses pendant toute la saison. Ils ne forment pas de bulbe. [...] Le terme échalotes utilisé vaguement pour désigner différents types d'oignons s'applique en particulier à ce type d'oignons en bottes.
