Description

A crop I have grown and loved for a very long time.  Delicious and potent onion greens(tops) and a strong red onion flavor to the small / medium sized bulbs.    Just a few plants in only one year can give you enough bulbs to seed out a whole bed.  Once established, with minimal care you will never be without onions again.

Egyptian walking onions (Allium × proliferum) are a perennial onion variety known for their unique propagation method. Unlike traditional onions, they form clusters of small bulbils at the top of their flower stalks. These bulbils eventually become heavy, causing the stalks to bend and touch the ground, where the bulbils take root and form new plants. This “walking” propagation allows the plant to spread efficiently. The plant is hardy and can thrive in various climates, producing both edible bulbs and greens.
