Simply water them regularly, and they will produce new bulbs each year, creating a self-sustaining patch of onions for continual harvest.
Whether used for their delicious, mild-flavored bulbs or their aesthetic appeal in edible landscapes, Egyptian Walking Onions are a versatile and valuable addition to any garden.
