Babington's are perennial leeks that form bulbils in the flower head and these will grow into a baby leek.
If you leave the leek it will grow more from sideshoots. https://backyardlarder.co.uk/babingtons-leek/
Its a specific variety of wild leek which grows around the coast of South Wales and the South West of England and Ireland. Its also the County Flower of Cardiff and grows on Flat Holm island where I used to be a volunteer tour guide and do conservation work. I grow it because of its connections and have never eaten any.
Most people treat leeks as annuals and grow them to eat, I treat them as perennials as I do spring onions!!
