Marshalls have just sent me a trial seed packet of bunching onions. What
are
they? None of my reference books mention them.

Mightn't be something like Welsh onions, might they? Or Egyptian onions?
Both are really handy perennials that form bunches, you split them in spring
if you want to, and keep cutting greens from them through the season as you
need them? As long as you don't cut to much and feed them once in a while
you've got a bunch by next summer?
