A Whole New Onion World

I'm just learning about the Egyptian Walking Onion.

The name "Walking Onion" was given to this plant because it literally walks to new locations. When the cluster of topsets becomes heavy enough, it will pull the plant over to the ground. Depending on how tall the plant is and where the bend occurs, the topsets may fall between 1 to 3 feet away from the base of the plant. Here they will take root and grow new plants. When these new plants mature their topsets will eventually hit the ground and start the process all over again. Egyptian Walking Onion plants can walk between 1 and 3 feet per year!
