🌿 Why These Are Special

Egyptian Walking Onions are not your average onion. They are a true perennial survival crop that comes back year after year without replanting.

Produces top sets (bulblets) instead of flowers
The tops bend over, touch the ground, and replant themselves (“walking”)
Expands naturally over time—one planting can turn into a patch
Extremely hardy, drought-tolerant, and cold-resistant

🧅 Flavor & Use

Strong, bold onion flavor
Use the greens like green onions
Use the bulbs like small onions or shallots
Use the top sets for replanting or cooking

This is a full-use plant—from top to root.

🌾 How to Plant (Bare Root)

Plant as soon as possible after receiving
Choose well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade
Space 6–12 inches apart
Plant with the roots down and crown just above soil level
Water well after planting

They establish quickly and require very little care once rooted.

🛡️ A True Survival Food

These onions are one of the easiest long-term food sources you can grow:

Come back every year
Multiply on their own
Require minimal input
Can be harvested multiple ways

Once you plant them, you likely won’t ever need to buy onions again.
