Ideal for fall planting.
Not your everyday onion. Each bulb produces a clump of stalks atop which form bulblets of hardy scallion-size onions. Held high above the plants these “floating” onions offer an early harvest of very sweet scallions in the spring.
When left until summer they become much hotter in flavor. You can eat either end, but usually you eat the bulbs from the ground and plant the top bulbs for more onions.
If not harvested the top bulbs will fall over and replant themselves, thus beginning their “walk” across the garden.
