Yes, providing the pot is big enough! I have seen competition onions grown this way. I would estimate a 15cm pot would be a minimum.

Curry has it-yes-if the pot is big enough.But I can only think of two reasons why;

1-to try and grow super competion ones

2-You have no garden/white rot and just have to have a few of your own.

Not taking the mickey-just replying.
