Also called multiplier onions. Territorial has them. You're right, too
late to plant them this year.


When I was a kid we had multiplier onions that *never* formed a bulb. They
just kept dividing, and when you pulled some up for a salad, you broke one
off the bunch and replanted it. They looked like scallions that you buy in
the supermarket, but they were a little smaller and tasted like shallots.
IIRC, you could plant them year-round, but that was in Texas where the
ground never froze and the multiplying onions stayed green all winter.
I've planted shallots before, and it's not the same thing -- and the
shallots are not nearly as prolific.
