Description

Walking Onion (Bulb)

Allium x proliferum

NOT FOR TAS, WA

  • Biennial to 60cm
  • Easy to grow
  • Edible leaves, bulbils and bulbs

A easy to grow, clump-forming biennial growing to 60cm tall with long hollow leaves resembling a bunching onion. As plants mature miniature bulbs called bulbils form at the top of the flower stems. If left on the plant the stems will arch over and the bulbils will form roots where they touch the ground, making plants appear to 'walk' across the garden over time. At maturity the plants produce bulbs approximately 4cm across at the base of the stems, with 6 to 10 bulbs produced per stem.

The leaves, bulbils and bulbs are all edible and have a mild onion flavour. Bulbs can be used as a substitute for brown onions, the leaves in a similar way to bunching onions, and the bulbils can be cooked or pickled. Also known as tree onions, topsetting onions or Egyptian onions.
