Rating for this plant:
If you want a reliable onion that takes no care other than eating it this is the onion for you. Very small bulb, and somewhat tough greens. Good for soups, and saute's. The bulbs are formed at the end of the stalks, sometimes having as much as 3 or 4 generations on one stalk (in only a month or so). Any of the bulbs can then be placed into soil and you can have a never ending supply of little onions.

I like this opinion
