Heirloom Perennial Onions for Sale Online
Discover the unique charm and hardiness of Egyptian Walking Onions,
also known as tree onions or topset onions. These vigorous
heirloom perennial onions are a gardener’s delight, hardy in USDA zones 3-10,
and famous for their fascinating growth habit—“walking” across your garden as
they multiply naturally.
What Are Egyptian Walking Onions?
Unlike typical onions that bloom flowers and produce seeds, Egyptian
Walking Onions grow clusters of small onions called bulbils at the top
of their stalks. These bulbils grow heavy, causing the stalks to bend down to
the soil, where the bulbils take root and “walk” across your garden over time.
This natural propagation method makes them incredibly easy to grow and perfect
for sustainable gardening.
