Onion is a vegetable. It is a perennial bulb, and comes in many different varieties, ranging from 6" to 4' in height, different coloured skins, flesh, and flower form and colour, as well as many differing strength of taste. Taste ranges from piquant to mouth-burning hot. All onions have similar habit.
Hollow green stems grow in Wake. Rise brings round balls of flowers (white, purple, or red). In Fall, leaves die off and bulbils may appear at the base of the main bulb. Root is a single, multi-layered bulb. Usually white fleshed, but rink or even red and near purple have been found. the bulb is a storage medium, with little fibrous roots below the base of the bulb. On shallow soils the bulb may be almost totally above ground. The size of the bulb is relative to the size of the plant. A 1" bulb is the 6" variety, while an 8" bulb grows to the 4' high variety.
Folklore says onions promote hair growth and help remove spots and pimples. Keeping them near also protects from lightning strikes.
