I planted them in the fall and you are right...plant and forget! One question for you. Is it necessary to leave the clusters in tact when harvesting or is it ok to separate the bulbs at harvest time? Thanks! Hi Kenny,

This is my first season growing potatoe onions (and garlic). I planted them in the fall and you are right…plant and forget! One question for you. Is it necessary to leave the clusters in tact when harvesting or is it ok to separate the bulbs at harvest time?

Thanks!

If planted in Edmonton, AB, the bigger ones often produce fewer new onions and at least one will go to seed. They keep at room temperature until well into the next Spring, but produce more when Fall planted. They can be well washed, then roasted in their skins, and squirted out of the skin to eat. They can be very finely chopped for special sauces and butters.. I find that the best potato onions for planting are the small ones, and the best for eating are the bigger ones.

They have several varieties even. They will be shipped in the fall for cool weather planting, even if you order in the spring (like I did). @ Kris: I found them last year at Southern Seed Exchange.
