What do you plant to grow scallions?

[flobadob]

I've been told that if you want to grow scallions you plant shallots in the ground. Is this the case?

I've always understood that a scallion is a spring onion before the bulb develops, a straight-sided shoot.

[ummmm]

In Ireland we call spring onions scallions.
