Potato onion seeds, 100 seeds

Potato onions are normally propagated by replanting bulbs. The bulbs are clones, so results are very predictable. Your potato onions will always look and taste the same when you reserve some of the bulbs to replant. Potatoes work the same way, which is presumably the origin of the term “potato onion.”

But what if you don’t always like to do things the “normal” way? What if you would like to explore the potential for new and different traits in potato onions? Then you need potato onion seed. Our seeds were collected from 11 clones that we have selected over the past six years.  The starting population included the common yellow, red, and white potato onions and several selections made by Kelly Winterton.

Start and plant as you would any onion seed.

At least 100 seeds. Germination rate is about 66%.
