Florida Finley Onion is an heirloom dividing onion from Polk County, Fl. It is a short statured onion that rapidly divides into clusters which can be turned into many plants.  This is likely a cultivar of Allium cepa aggregatum.  These onions are “perennial” in the sense that a gardener can maintain them indefinitely without buying new plants or starting seed.  They are annual in the sense that the onions go dormant in May, at which point they are dug up to be stored indoors until Fall.  This is a very unique, locally adapted green onion substitute that has a fun history connecting the present back to the Florida gardeners of decades ago.  For Florida gardeners seeking a no-fuss source of green onions that can supply them forever, this is a great option.

We have written an extensive blog describing this variety at length which can be found here.
