€4.95
Egyptian Walking Onion (Allium × proliferum) is a hardy, perennial onion in the Amaryllidaceae family known for its unique “walking” growth habit. It typically grows up to 60 cm tall and produces clusters of small bulbils at the top of the flower stalks, which eventually bend to the ground and take root, giving the appearance of the plant “walking.” Both the bulbs and green tops are edible, with a mild onion flavour.
