I never have to buy onions since this one and drummondii onion grow prolifically here. These are great on baked potatoes, with eggs/omelettes, hamburger helper, or anything you want to add onions to.

Wild onions ruin the look of my beds. Pretty white flowers but they ruin the look of my beds! No matter what I do, they keep multiplying throughout my landscape. IMO, its only redeeming quality is the lovely onion frag. when freshly mowed.

I grow this plant (var. canadense) in the vegetable garden. It has smooth, flat leaves that can be used in place of chives, the young onions can be harvested and used the same way as you would green onions, and mature bulbs can be harvested to used the same as the yellow or white onions in the store. It produces clusters of small white flowers in the early spring which will become little bulblets. Each bulblet will form a new plant. The plant goes dormant in the summer and re-emerges in the fall.
