Not all mutations are permanent so whether the trait is passed down or not or shows up as strongly is a guess. Since you are growing an eating onion, you may just want to yank them. If you are interested to see if the mutation is permanent, you can bag the blossoms since onions don't need insect pollination to produce seed.
