     "a prolific multiplier onion cultivated in the Baboquivari Peak Wilderness,   
   Arizona area. This small-bulb type has a shallot-like flavour and is easy to   
   grow and ideal for hot, dry climates. Bulbs are separated, and planted in the   
   fall 1 in below the    
   surface and 12 in apart. Bulbs will multiply into clumps and can be harvested   
   throughout the cooler months. Tops die back in the heat of summer and may   
   return with heavy rains; bulbs can remain in the ground or be harvested and   
   stored in a cool dry place    
   for planting in the fall. The plants rarely flower; propagation is by   
   division."
