realseeds.co.uk did them last year, it might be a bit early for them yet on the site though... although it wouldn't hurt to email them?

Alternatively...

Or try googling 'tree onions' as well?

Good luck - a fun plant!

If you can't find any, I have a few to get you started... I know them as perpetual onions... came from some Bulgarian friends... they keep haircutting the green bits and use them (like chives) in salads and soups etc. They seem to take a lot of abuse and survive :-)

My mistake was to plant them too far away from the kitchen.

I've had these for years, they are trouble-free, easy and they are infinitely self-perpetuating. Botanically they are Allium cepa Proliferum Group and are also known as tree onions. I would be happy to give you some for the cost of postage.

ahhh, saw this post and wondered what walking onions were - suspected they were maybe tree onions cos I've never known what else they are called. We had them when I was wee and I badgered my dad to find me some - which he managed to do last year

So I have loads too if anyone wants a few I'll happily stick'em in the post

wish I'd seen this earlier - have just bought some dried bulbils from real seeds - hope they take. I bought some seeds via ebay and they've all come up but if the plant doesn't set seed what the heck am I growing?

Would love some more in case these don't take and would happily pay postage and/or swap for some other seeds.

I'd love some of these if you still have spares, fruitcake.

going in tomorrow's post - hope they're ok - they're starting to get too tall to cram in a tub for the post, lol

Arrived safe and sound, thanks

Can I send you stamps or seeds?

[Shirley]

Huge thanks for the walking onions - they arrived safe and sound here too. I really would like to send some seeds/stamps by return but you didn't include an address

I just brought one of these today from my local garden center http://www.ribblesdalenurseries.co.uk/

they had several plants in, only £1 or so in 10cm pot.
