Is a Spring Onion eternal ?

[Minusorange]

If I keep feeding the shoots with roots water & sunlight will they eternally keep sprouting fresh green bits to eat or will it give up at some point in time ?

Probably give up after 4 or 5 times would be my guess
Though will depend how long you are letting them grow each time

Should be eternal. Wel during the warmer months anyway. They will come back year after year.

Same as garlic.

Don't cut them back too much when trimming. Leave some to collect light for energy.

I'm leaving about an inch from roots to shoot, it's interesting how the thin shoots grow slower than the thicc ones

It will flower eventually, then go to seed, then die back. Once it sets seeds it won't be pleasant to eat but those seeds will ensure you can have a crop next year.

It will flower even when being cut as it grows ?

I've never seen a spring onion flower or seed so that will be interesting
