I'itoi Multiplying Onions
I’itoi Multiplying Onions are an heirloom variety that is known for its hardy nature and their ability to thrive in hotter climates. This rare onion variety was introduced by Jesuit missionaries to the native southwest in the Colorado basin in the 1600s. The I’itoi Multiplying Onion will thrive in raised beds or in-ground gardens with minimal care and do well with companion plants such as brassicas, beets, tomatoes, and even strawberries. The best part, plant one bulb and it can multiply into 8-12 bulbs! These onions can be harvested as needed to add a mild, peppery flavor to your meals.Allium cepa var. Aggregatum

We suggest harvesting and splitting bulbs twice a year (Fall and Spring) if you live in Zone 8 and higher. Zones 7 and lower should harvest in the fall and store bulbs in a cool, dry, and dark area until you're ready to split and plant the following Spring. I'itoi Multiplying Onions are not a potato onion or a walking onion.
