Description: 12 Top sets bulbs fresh ready to plant. These are from 4–5-foot plants. They make 2 to 3 levels of top sets once they mature.These will split into more bulbs in ground making more plants each in spring. They will continue to multiply each year. Unlike most onion varieties, Egyptian walking onions (Allium x proliferum) set bulbs at the top of the plant – each with numerous small onions that you can harvest for planting or eating. Egyptian walking onions taste much like shallots, although slightly more pungent. When the bluish green stalk gets top-heavy, the stalk falls over, creating new roots and a new plant where the bulbs touch the ground. One Egyptian walking onion plant can travel 24 inches (61 cm.) each year, resulting in up to six new plants. Egyptian walking onions are known by several names, including top-set onions and tree onions. Egyptian onions are perennial, and they will eventually walk across your garden. However, they are easy to control and aren’t considered invasive. Leave a few plants in your garden every year if you want the plants to keep walking for decades to come but pull any that walk where they aren’t welcome. Egyptian onion care is uninvolved and basically just requires keeping the soil lightly moist, but never soggy or drenched. Otherwise, thin the plant as needed and divide the mother plant whenever it becomes overgrown or less productive – usually every two or three years.
