onion, walking onion
The Egyptian onion is a very hardy perennial onion that was popular in our country gardens a century ago. It is curious in that it produces bulbils as big as hazelnuts at the end of strong hollow stems 60 cm high. The weight of the bulblets will cause the stem to bend and "walk" to its new planting site. In spring, the stalks make excellent sweet green onions that can be stuffed. The fleshy, pink-skinned underground part, with its powerful flavor, is delectable steamed and served in vinaigrette like a leek. Its effect is striking in flower beds. Sow in August-September-October just below the surface of the soil and mulch as winter approaches if you don't anticipate sufficient snow cover.
10 or 25 bulblets [available in Quebec and the rest of Canada only].
Performs best in a sunny site, in light soil that drains well; tolerates drought well once established. Sow in August-September just below the soil surface at 22 cm. Mulch if you don't expect enough snow the first winter. It can also be sown indoors in containers, keeping the plants cool all winter long...
