Egyptian Walking Onions - Dormant Seed

Would you like Perennial Onions that come back year after year and are drought tolerant? These Egyptian Walking Onion Seed onions are dormant right now. Plant them in the fall or spring and you will have onions year after year. Walking onions are best suited for both raw and cooked applications such as baking, roasting, and frying. The stalks, bulbs, and topsets are all edible and can be used in place of regular onions. The young leaves, shoots, and stalks can be used similarly to scallions in soups, stews, omelets, stir-fries, or as a finishing herb. Description/Taste Walking onion plants are medium to large in size and produce underground, slender shallot-like bulbs, attached to above ground long leaf stalks with many round to ovoid bulbets. The bulbets, also known as topsets, average 1-5 centimeters in diameter and are encased in a red, papery skin when young, eventually shedding the papery coverings with maturity. On the end of the mature topsets, there are many small roots and green sprouts, and one leaf stalk can grow as many as thirty topsets. The leaf stalks are bright green, hollow, round, juicy, and crunchy and can grow up to one meter in height, sometimes bearing small white flowers in the spring. Underneath the stalk, the bulbs are red to white in color and are firm, crisp, and can divide many times to form new clusters of bulbs. Plant 3–4 inch deep.
