   Hi All,   
      
   Any of you grow "Egyptian walking onions"?   
      
   Fun, Wonderful, to be avoided?  Your thoughts.   
      
   I like the "perennial' part and the cold-hardy   
   part.  Plus they seem fun to grow.   
      
   Best grown from sets or seeds?

   Egyptian Walking Onions, scientifically known as Allium ×   
   proliferum, are a unique perennial onion variety that   
   propagate by forming clusters of small bulbs, called   
   topsets or bulblets, at the top of their stalks. These   
   topsets grow heavy over time, causing the stalk to bend   
   and fall to the ground, where they can take root and   
   grow into new plants, giving rise to the name "". This   
   process allows the plant to spread across a garden,   
   typically moving 1 to 3 feet per year.

   Egyptian walking onions (Allium x proliferum) are hardy and   
   an be grown in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 to 10. They are   
   exceptionally cold-hardy, tolerating temperatures as low   
   as -24°F (-31°C), which makes them suitable for a wide   
   range of climates
