Egyptian Walking Onions - Sets
Egyptian Walking Onion (Allium × proliferum)
A quirky and cold-hardy perennial, the Egyptian Walking Onion earns its name from the way it "walks" across the garden—forming clusters of bulblets at the tops of its tall stalks that eventually bend down and take root nearby. This self-sufficient onion is a fun, flavorful, and low-maintenance addition to any edible landscape.
Every part of the plant is edible: use the hollow green stalks like scallions, harvest the small top sets for pickling or roasting, or dig up the underground bulbs for a more traditional onion flavor. Exceptionally hardy and easy to grow, it comes back year after year with minimal care—perfect for permaculture gardens, borders, or anywhere you want a perennial patch of pungent personality.
Perennial | Full Sun | Zones 3–9 | Edible from Top to Bottom & Self-Propagating
