Description

The listing, Egyptian Walking Onion Sets has ended.

Egyptian walking onions are remarkable plants. They produce for you year after year. They are extremely hardy and will grow in almost any soil.

Walking onions can be planted any time of year. If you can make a hole in the ground - they will grow! The onion plant will produce "sets" wich can be planted to produce more onions. The onion is a perennial which will come back year after year to produce "sets" if it isn't pulled. If let to naturalize the onions will become top heavy, bend over until the sets lay on the ground, and root to produce more plants. They "walk" across the garden! 1 onion will produce 5-10 new plants each year.

The onions are a small, tight, hard onion that keeps well. It is delicious in stews or pickled in relishes. They keep thier shape and flavor when used in cooking.

I will send you 5 sets (individual bulblets) along with growing instructions. I'll also send you my recipe for pickled onions.

The bublets will become small eating onion about 2 months after planting. The mother onion can be eaten any time. The bulblets can be eaten at any time also. The stems can be eaten like chives. The stems will not die over the winter, you can continue to harvest them. From the time you plant the bulblets to the time you can pull a small onion - 2 months...for new babies to form - 3 months

Do these produce a small reddish skinned torpedo shaped onion?

I hope you will offer these again in late October or early November. We are having a heat wave and they would cook before they got here. And I am not sure if they are the same as the ones I already have. But if not--I want some!!!
