Seeds not Bulbs

Product Description
Add a fascinating and highly productive heirloom onion to your garden with Egyptian Walking Onions β also known as Tree Onions, Multiplier Onions, or Top-Setting Onions. Unlike ordinary onions, this unique perennial variety develops clusters of small bulbs at the tops of tall stalks instead of flowers. As the bulb clusters mature, the stalks naturally bend to the ground and replant themselves, creating the appearance that the onions are βwalkingβ through the garden year after year.
Renowned for their resilience and reliability, Egyptian Walking Onions thrive in a wide range of climates and require very little maintenance once established. They provide multiple harvests throughout the growing season, producing tender green onion tops in spring and flavorful bulbs later in summer. Perfect for home gardeners, permaculture enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a long-lasting food crop, these onions continue returning season after season without the need for replanting.
