Egyptian Walking Onions

Egyptian Walking Onions are a perennial onion that produces small bulbs (called "bulbils") at the top of the plants in late spring and early summer. These got their name from the way they'll "walk" along your garden and reproduce year after year. Egyptian Walking Onions are a great way to have a continual source of green onion tops in your garden, and the bulbs can be eaten too! Egyptian Walking Onions are widely-adapted and can be grown in zones 3-10. They are especially cold-hardy and perform best when planted in the fall months. Even if the tops are damaged by heavy snowfall, they'll sprout again in the late winter and early spring months. Planting Egyptian Walking Onions Plant Egyptian Walking Onions in the fall, regardless of your growing zone. Place the bulbs 4-6" apart in your in-ground garden, raised beds, or containers. They'll quickly sprout and start producing green tops. Consider using straw as a mulch around the sprouts to preserve moisture and minimize weed growth. Growin
