the onion seeds will grow, don't know if you will get onions or if
that takes 2 years. but you can definately get green onions if you
plant them in the spring.

I know that I can buy seeds (not talking about onion sets), but I've got
two onions that have produced nice 3" flower heads that seem to still be

for the seed to viable? I mean should the flowers all die and the head
change color or what? The flowers right now are such a light green as to
almost be blue.
TIA

When they are ripe, the flower heads will be a bleached-out tan (or
straw) color, with black seeds visible inside. Onion seeds are only
good for about 1 year, so don't try to save them for 2 or 3 years
because that doesn't work very well.
