Potato Onion (Bulb)
Allium cepa var. aggregatum
NOT TO NT, TAS, WA
- Easy to grow
- Mild onion flavour
- Each bulb produces 10-12 new bulbs
A easy to grow onion, to 40cm tall and producing clumps of 10-12 bulbs under the soil's surface. This Australian heirloom variety from the late 1800s is often referred to as a 'perennial' because bulbs can be left in the ground to reproduce and it is also easy to lift, save and replant the bulbs year after year.
Bulbs are the size of small onions with a flavour somewhere between onions and milder shallots; they can be used in place of shallots and roast and caramelise well. The tops of the green leaves can also be eaten like a spring onion, leaving at least half the height to provide energy for the bulbs to grow. Bulbs store for 6-8 months.
Also called 'hill', 'mother', 'multiplier', 'pregnant', 'nesting' or 'underground' onions.
