FREE: ***Egyptian Walking Onions!!!***

The listing, ***Egyptian Walking Onions!!!*** has ended.

These edible plants would make a wonderful addition to any garden or plant collection.

The winner will receive 8 started plants! These will be the smaller clumps that are just getting started in my garden.

The photo is of one of the large established plants I have growing in my garden. The ones I send won't be this large yet, but it won't take long!

These plants have been extremely drought tolerant and cold hardy in my high desert garden, and can even be grown indoors, on a sunny windowsill.

The shoots appear very early in the season, and grow until frost. They can be harvested at any time of the year, and transplanted any time of year, as well, as long as the ground can be worked.

The shoots can be used any way that a scallion or chive is used. We love them on sandwiches, in eggs, in soups, stews, sauces, salads..... The list is endless!

As the name suggests, these plants multiply by "walking" across the garden! The established plants will send up a shoot with little bulbs on top of it. The bulbs will grow until the weight of them will cause the stalk to fall over, where the bulbs will take root in the soil, thereby starting a new clump. It really is cool to watch!!
They also multiply by the clumps spreading under ground, and can be propagated by root division every two years.

Although it may seem that these are so prolific that they might overrun a garden, they can be easily controlled by just cutting the bulb stalk off before the bulbs start "walking" : )

I've only been growing these for a couple of years, so I am still discovering all the wonders of this amazing plant. I got a lot of useful information by doing an internet search on these when I first got them, and suggest anyone else that is interested to do the same. They really are amazing plants, and I can't believe it took me so long to try them!!!

If there are any questions, just ask, and I'll answer them if I can.

As always, Thanks for looking : )
