Winter White Potato Onion (perennial multiplier)

The winter white potato onion is a very vigorous potato onion.  Its on the smaller side but it produces numerous small, pearly white bulbs in a short period time (depending on season and climate) and can also be used as a vigorous bunching onion.  This is our 1st year growing it out and it has been very vigorous and relatively disease free.  

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.
