Walking Onions

Walking onions are an heirloom variety that has been passed down through generations, cherished for their unique self-propagating growth and versatility in the kitchen. These hardy perennial onions don't rely on seeds to reproduce; instead, they grow small bulbils at the top of the plant. As the bulbils mature, the stalks bend toward the ground, where they take root and sprout new plants, creating a continuous cycle of growthβ€”hence the name "walking." Not only do walking onions thrive year after year with minimal effort, but every part of the plant is edible. The bulbs offer a robust onion flavor for cooking, while the green tops and the bulbils can be used fresh or pickled, providing even more culinary possibilities. Easy to grow and maintain, walking onions make an excellent addition to any garden, offering both a sustainable harvest and a delicious, perennial crop.
