EGYPTIAN WALKING ONION
Ancient Garden Extraordinaire!
While relatively new to Shabby Chic Gardeners; this one-of-a-kind Allium (onion) has been around a long time.
Reasons this onion is phenomenal:
✔It's unique, edible and ornamental.
✔The onions grow on top of the plant.
✔The entire plant from above to below ground is 100% edible!
Purple clustered, rich sweet flavored bulblets sit "atop" a tall hollowed edible stem (taste like a shallot), which is attached to yet another larger and more robust tasting onion underground.
✔ It Walks!
When the marble sized bulbs become to heavy, they pull the top of the plant to the ground which sets a new root and . . . appears as if walking around the garden. To prevent your plant from strolling at will, simply remove the top bulbs.
ZONES: 3+ Very cold hardy. Multiplies and will return every year! (to thin remove onion underground.)
PLANT BULBS: 1" deep in rich compost soil. Keep bulbs cooled and dry until planting. Plant anytime the ground is workable.
First to arrive in Spring and Fast Growing. Harvest when bulbs fully form on top of plant. Eat from the hollowed stems anytime!
Fantastic Starter Gift For The Garden Enthusiast!
