What do you mean they don't last that long? They have only been around since, I think, the 1930's so nobody knows how big they get, or how long they last. Could be 100 years minimum.
Strange you should say that welsh onion, I read they were discovered in Wales in 1888. You live and learn.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Thank you Lyn, I'll put that in my memory-bank. It reinforces the fact that they may be long lived and nobody knows how long they live as they have not been around for so many years yet.
Tetley, I'm very impressed with your hedge! I'm not a fan usually of formal hedges, but I'd not complain about that one. I rather like the softer lines of informal, and have a row of Spiraea cantoniensis . I guess it's partly because of the flowers and their habit of hanging from the branches.

Oh my goodness! A spiraea I like the look of!
Thanks Supernoodle. I like it too.
Both edges look great
