Territorial Seed Company Egyptian Walking Onion

Instead of producing flowers or seeds at the top of the stalk, this variety grows small clusters of bulblets, known as topsets. These can be harvested and replanted to propagate new onions or used in the kitchen just like green onions.

Egyptian Walking Onions are perennial, meaning they return year after year. You can typically harvest the green shoots in the spring and again in the late summer or fall once the topsets have matured.

Yes, they are highly resilient and can survive cold winters in many climates. They are well-suited for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance, perennial vegetable that returns reliably each season.

Because this is an open-pollinated variety, you can easily save the bulblets from the topsets to expand your patch. Simply plant the bulblets in the fall to grow new onions for the following season.

Once planted in the fall, the onions generally take approximately 250 days to reach full maturity. During this time, they will establish their root system and eventually produce the signature topsets.
