Walking Onion Bulbs for Planting – Perennial Heirloom Top Sets – 8 Bulbils – Live Plant

Grow Your Own Perennial Walking Onions

Cultivate a unique and sustainable addition to your garden with our walking onion bulbs. These fascinating perennial plants, also known as ‘top sets’ or ‘tree onions,’ produce small bulbils at the top of their stalks, which eventually weigh down and ‘walk’ to new planting spots, creating a self-propagating patch. Enjoy the convenience of a continuous harvest of mild, onion-flavored greens and small bulbs year after year, perfect for salads, stir-fries, and garnishes.

Our carefully selected walking onion bulbils are ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners. They are incredibly low-maintenance and adaptable, thriving in a variety of climates. These heirloom varieties are known for their robust growth and delightful flavor, offering a fresh, homegrown alternative to store-bought onions. Plant them once, and enjoy the bounty for many seasons to come, making them a cost-effective and rewarding choice for any edible landscape.

Planting walking onion bulbs is straightforward. Simply place the bulbils 1-2 inches deep and about 6-8 inches apart in well-draining soil. They prefer full sun, requiring at least six hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth. Water consistently when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. In colder climates, potted plants can be moved indoors during winter, ensuring they still receive adequate light and moisture to continue thriving.

The benefits of growing walking onions extend beyond their culinary uses. They are an excellent choice for permaculture gardens, providing a reliable food source with minimal effort. Their unique growth habit makes them a conversation starter, and their resilience ensures a successful harvest even in challenging conditions. These perennial wonders are a testament to nature’s ingenuity, offering both beauty and utility to your outdoor space.
