there's this perennial green onion mutant that I found out about from people growing it in China. Usually if you want scallions you have to harvest them very quickly, then the plant is kinda useless. But these ones, instead of flowering, they immediately offshoot new plants from where the flower would have been. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_onion

I found these walking onions a couple years ago planted a bunch of them along a hugelkulture berm that I constructed from downed tree trunks, decomposed wood chips, grass cuttings, compost and topsoil. They are definitely planted in the absolute worst spot right at the base of the berm instead of on it where the best nutrients should be. In spite of that I have seen them thrive in the poor soil. They do indeed form small onions at the tips of the stalks and those do tip over and root forming new plants. The whole thing is edible from the tiny onions at the top to the onion at the root. They also taste great so they have that going for them. If they can grow in the Texas heat with someone like myself tending them whenever he thinks about it then I think they will survive anywhere. I fully expected all of them to burn up in the heat but they have done quite well.
