Onion planting questions?
December 12, 2009 by
Filed under scallion seeds
I know this is a gardening question, but I tend to get more answers from the V&V section. These questions may make me sound stupid, but bare with me. 
1.) When I plant an onion seed, does it produce 1 onion or many onions?
2.) Are my scallion seeds and my onion seeds the exact same thing?
3.) I have an onion in my cupboard that has several long stalks(?). If I plant it, will it produce another onion and/or onions?
3B) If so, do I plant the bulb in the ground and allow the stalks to protrude from the soil?
Thanks
These are scallions in Ohio, USA.

1.) Each seed will produce one onion
2.) Scallions are different than regular onion. They are also called different names depending on where in the world you are. A scallion to me is a type of small brown onion. Others call Spring Onions scallions.
3.) No it will just grow and eventually flower. Collect the seeds if you can and you may be able to grow more.
3B.) Don’t know for certain so I just bury them
PS. plant those sprouting onions around your rose bushes as they are complimentary to each other.
