The potato onion (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) is a member of the onion family. It reproduces by division of bulbs, rather than by seed (though it does produce seed some years). They are also known as nesting onions or multiplier onions. Potato onions are closely related to shallots, but are larger and store and use more like an onion. One onion can be planted and it will produce 3-8 onions after one growing season in a big clump, hence the name "potato" or "multiplier" onion. This variety in unnamed but produces a nice medium sized onion. It comes in a 4x6 pot and the plant is quite established and ready to go into the ground.

These seedlings are grown from a seed Grex.  The seed was originally sourced from Restoration Seed.  3-5 seedlings per pot.  Each seedling will turn into a small onion and that onion is the potatoe onion that can then be planted the following year and it will multiply.
