The Egyptian (aka walking, top-setter, tree) onion derives its name from the unique manner in which the plant multiplies. In contrast to common onions, which produce flowers on top of the seed stalk, the Egyptian onion produces a cluster of small, red bulbils. As the plants dry down, the stalk droops to the ground, allowing the bulbils take root. This super-hardy perennial requires very little maintenance and once established, will supply the gardener with fresh onions year after year. In Iowa, the first greens usually emerge in late February, a much-welcomed sight for winter-weary gardeners. Each packet contains a minimum of 30 bulbils. Ships in Fall. Show more
