It makes sense that this 'New Belt' Chinese Leeks/Garlic Chives Allium tuberosum is different from "regular garlic". The roots are never mentioned. It sounds just like Cinda's - flowers late summer, reseed ferociously, [P].

There seems to be some law that no edible plant can ever be given a NEW name.
Why does it need to be called all three things (leek, chive and garlic)? I guess so that it will SOUND familiar!

Like "Spinach Mustard" (Komatsuna - Brassica rapa var. komatsuna )
Or "Chinese Kale / Broccoli" (Gai Lan)
