A friend found some unopened onion seeds and some Evergreen Bunching onion seed from 2007. They were kept inside his house (consistent 70 degrees).

My friend thinks this Evergreen Bunching onion will produce a scallion-like plant suitable for bundling/bunching but, will not multiply. He insists that the growing of multiple leaves with one white base-portion is the final result of planting the Evergreen Bunching onion. He's never grown them before but insists he's right.

I was hoping that ultimately the thin white "bulb" portion will actually split/divide producing several whole new plants (multiplying).

The large bulbing onion is the same onion grown in Georgia as the Vidalia. If I start them this fall and, some of them sprout, will they be viable plants/bulbs? Or, should I just trash all 4 packages of seed?
