Potato onion source?
I did find some excellent catawissa (top sets w/ top sets) walking onions though
Also looking for a good turban garlic if anyone has any suggestions.

Potato onions are perennial multiplying onions.
The Catawissa onion is a type of Egyptian that produces so many top-sets, that even its top-sets have top-sets.
It also has large hollow leaves that you can stuff.
The only difference being that the former can swell to a diameter between 7.5-10 cm

diggers seeds in Australia sells the bulbs but you can get the true seed from usefulseeds in bendigo they are online
good luck
yes potato onions don't flower very often they need specific environmental triggers.......Kelly Winterton pretty much covers everything known in his blog look him up
i think potato onions are Allium Cepa and the walking onions are Allium proliferum.........i'm not sure if they will hybridize.
keep in mind plants in the same species can changed dramatically when domesticated......silver beet, beetroot and sugar beet are all the same species.

Then I better stick with my walking onions -I am growing them first time this year. So far I just ate their greens, which are very good, even if they are larger than most.
