'Forescate'
This perennial herb grows to 400mm (16in) tall and wide with mid green grass-like foliage that has a mild onion flavour. It produces rose-pink flower heads that are held above the foliage on a slender stem during summer.

The foliage is used for culinary purposes such as in salads or added to soups and the plant is also used ornamental in cottage or herb gardens along borders or in containers.

It prefers a full sun position and grows on well drained fertile moist soils. It is drought tender and frost resistant and has a medium water requirement once established (Scale: 2-drops from 3), responding to mulching and an occasional deep watering during dry periods.
