Product information
An heirloom onion originally listed in Australian seed and bulb catalogues back in the 1800s, this clumping perennial onion is rarely offered for sale in shops as it's production is best linked to hand planting and harvesting - so it's perfect for home gardeners. Each bulb produces up to 10-12 onions, so a few potato onions go a long way. A long term crop, potato onions are planted in autumn and harvested in spring (approx. 6 months). Stores well, lasting 4-6 months.
