Hi Donna, there’s a link to Southern Exposure Seed exchange in comment #4 above. That is where I purchased my original potato onion seed, and they are super easy to maintain once you get your crop established.

When I was a kid my dad grew onions that I now believe were potatoe onions but I have no idea where to buy them. Can you help me?

How long after planting does it take to sprout? Also, can we just harvest a few bulbs at a time as needed to get an established onion patch, rather than harvesting all the onions & replanting every year? We live an hour north of Orlando, FL, so winter is short & mild. Thanks for the excellent article.

Hi Sharon, I plant my potato onion seeds just deep enough so that the bulbs are completely covered with soil.

how deep do you plant the bulbs? I got them in the garden this fall, and wondering if I planted them correctly…

Rush, there is a link to a supplier in the 4th comment above, but it’s probably too late to order potato onions for planting this fall because they usually sell out and cut off orders during the summer.
