Organic EGYPTIAN WALKING ONIONS 5 Root Bulbs Starters Plant Perennial Allium (5)

Description: This bundle includes 5 root bulbs of the Organic EGYPTIAN WALKING ONIONS, a type of perennial Allium cepa var. viviparum that can be grown both indoors and outdoors, in different types of soil and climates such as tropical wet and dry, warm, or highland. The onions have a clumping growth habit and produce red bulbs that are edible and can be harvested all year round. Ideal for gardeners of all levels, these walking onions are easy to cultivate and require average watering. The set comes from Empresas MKNR, a brand that values organic farming and sustainable practices. Use them to add a pop of color to your garden and enjoy the fresh taste of homegrown onions. Egyptian Walking Onions, also called tree onions and winter onions, are a cross between a shallot and a bunching onion regarding taste. These perennial onions also look like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. They make a great addition to an edible or permaculture landscape. All parts of the plant are edible. In early spring, the greens and young bulbs can be used as scallions. This plant also produces edible bulbs both above and below ground. As a perennial, it takes longer to get started than annual onions. In the first year, the plant primarily produces onion greens. However, in the second year of growth, the magic begins. First, the onion tops will start to grow taller than your typical onion greens. As the tops get taller, they gather at the tips as if they are going to make flower heads and seed. They may develop a few small flowers. Generally, the thing you will notice is these beautiful little mini-onions clustered in a bouquet, growing out of the greens. The bulbets will increase and intensify in color. Soon, the weight of those top set bulbets begins to fold the greens over toward the ground. When this happens, if left to their own devices, those top sets will replant themselves and grow more onion plants. This process is why people call these Egyptian “Walking” Onions.
