Egyptian Walking Onions (Allium cepa var. proliferum) are a unique, hardy perennial onion variety that grows effortlessly in Zones 5-9. Unlike traditional onions, these plants produce bulblets on top of their stalks, which eventually bend and plant themselves in the soil—hence the name “walking onions.”

With minimal maintenance, these onions can be harvested year-round, making them a staple for home gardeners. They thrive in full sun to light shade and require well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Plant bulbs 2 inches deep in either spring or late summer for a continuous supply of flavorful onions. Egyptian Walking Onions have a mild, sweet taste perfect for salads, soups, and stir-fries.
