Grow Your Own Egyptian Walking Onions

Egyptian Walking Onions are a unique and easy-to-grow perennial vegetable, perfect for any garden. These onions produce small bulbs, also known as bulblets, at the top of the plant. As the plant matures, the tops become heavy, causing the plant to bend over and “walk” across your garden, planting new onions as they go. This is a great way to expand your garden with minimal effort.

With these Egyptian Walking Onion Bulbs, you’ll have a continual source of fresh green onion tops. Both the tops and the bulbs are edible, adding a delicious onion flavor to your cooking. They are incredibly adaptable and thrive in zones 3-10, making them a great choice for almost any climate. For best results, plant them in the fall.

Benefits of Growing Egyptian Walking Onions:

• Continual supply of green onions
• Easy to grow and maintain
• Perennial, so they come back year after year
• Cold-hardy and adaptable
• Both the tops and bulbs are edible

Plant your walking onion bulblets in the fall, regardless of your growing zone. Space them 4-6 inches apart in your garden, raised beds, or containers. They will quickly sprout and begin producing green tops. Mulching around the sprouts with straw will help retain moisture and reduce weed growth. You will receive 6 bulblets, ready to plant and start your own walking onion patch.

These onions are also known as tree onions or top-setting onions. They are a fascinating addition to any garden and provide a unique way to grow your own food. Enjoy the convenience and flavor of fresh, homegrown onions with these easy-to-grow Egyptian Walking Onions.
