Seed Grown Walking Onions

For the past few years, I have been growing topset onions (also known as Egyptian onions, walking onions, tree onions, and more). The plants normally produce many marble sized onions instead of flowers. These bulbils are really easy to grow, as they often have roots forming before they even hit the ground. I was curious as to what would happen when the plants were grown from seed instead of the bulbils. I had no idea what would happen, or if the seeds were even fertile.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum

Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a plant belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae that is useful as an adaptogen and as an antioxidant. It is also known as the Chinese herb jiaogulan. There doesn't seem to be too much information about growing it on the internet, but I decided that I needed it, and threw in a few bucks for some seeds. Luckily enough, I managed to have some success.
