Allium cepa proliferum

'Tree Onion/ Walking Onion'

Topsetting onions are a class of bunching onions. They grow normally, but when the time comes, instead of making a flower, they make a tiny bunch of bulbils on the end of the flower stalk where the flower should be. Sometimes these then sprout while still attached, making a second set of bulbs at the top.

The onions are nice and hardy, and used as any bunching onion, while the bulbils can be used in pickles, or chopped up for cooking -but we think most people really want them for amusement as much as anything else.
