The Egyptian Walking Onion is a fascinating and hardy perennial onion variety that "walks" across your garden by producing small bulbils at the top of its stems. These bulbils eventually fall to the ground and grow into new plants, creating a unique and self-sustaining addition to your edible garden. These bulbs are good additions to your fruit tree guilds providing multiple benefits for beneficial insects and culinary uses. The Egyptian Walking Onion is perfect for gardeners looking for a unique, productive, and virtually care-free addition to their edible landscape. Egyptian Walking Onions are shipped by the ounce, with each ounce having approximately 8-12 bulbils.
