To get started with the green onions, I simply brought some home from the grocery store, snipped off the root section and planted them. Some have turned out to be bunching[creating a number of green onions from one stem], some not. [If you look at the center of the first picture you'll see two tiny sprouts where planted roots are sending greens up again.]
Green onions thrive year round in Southwest Florida. This past summer they blossomed [my first year trying them]. They have a really interesting, feathery flower that bees LOVE. Interestingly enough only the one stalk blooms and dies, the rest stay green. I let a few go to seed and have grown green onions from seed now too.
