Botanical Name: Allium
Common Name: ONION
lso known as Multiplier Onions, Potato Onions are given this name because they will grow clumps of mild tasting Onions under the surface of the soil.
Potato Onions are larger than Shallots but smaller than single Onion bulbs, and this type of Onion stores extremely well after harvesting, with the bulbs lasting a good 6-8 months if stored correctly. Crops are usually harvested in the warmer months, before flowering but as the tips of the foliage begins to dry off. For best results plant into a full sun position in well drained soil.
