Default everlasting onions

I've just transplanted some perennial onions into my new veggie bed. Their
tops are quite leggy. Do I need to cut these back a bit just like leeks?
Thanks.

"perennial onions"????

I grow something called Welsh Onions - they grow in bunches like giant
chives - about 1 to 2cms across. Every couple of years, I lift and split
the bunch, use most and plant a small clump for a new bunch. The tops are
really good picked and chopped into stews/sauces etc.
