A: The ideal times to plant Walking Onions are in early spring after the last frost or in the fall, several weeks before the first hard frost, to allow them to establish roots.

A: No, Walking Onions are very low-maintenance. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and rarely need fertilizer. Just ensure they have well-draining soil and adequate sunlight.

Q: How tall do Walking Onion Plants typically grow?
A: The stalks of Walking Onion Plants can reach heights of 18 to 36 inches, depending on growing conditions, before the bulbils form and cause them to arch over.
