Green Mountain

Potato onions (also known as multiplier onion) are a variety of Allium similar to a shallot but producing larger bulbs.

Green Mountain onions are similar to other multiplier onion varieties except they grow to be much larger. These culinary onion bulbs have a fairly hot onion flavor when raw but are sweet and mild when cooked. 

I plant my bulbs either in the fall or in the spring and they mature mid summer, several new onions grow from each bulb planted. Multiplier onions are typically grown from planting bulbs but can also be grown from seed just like other onions. The seeds are harvested from my Green Mountain potato onions which I have grown from bulb division of the original Green Mountain bulbs that I obtained years ago. Green Mountain onion seeds may not grow true to variety.

The bulbs I sell are all grown from division of the original Green Mountain bulbs and are not bulbs that I’ve grown from seed.
