Egyptian walking onions also called Tree Onions, Perennial Onions, Topset Onions or Winter Onions, are really quite an amazing plant.
The onions form not only underground but they also form bunches of small onions on top, called top sets. Eventually as they get heavy, they fall down to the ground and can root into the ground and grow more onion plants! Your soil needs to be loose and moist for it to plant itself well, but you can either help it along and bury it a little, or simply snip it off and plant wherever you like.

Although this sounds like it could be invasive, they only move a foot or 2 per season when they "walk", and if you don't want them to you can just eat the topsets.

The whole plant is edible, from the shallot like onions underground, to the green leaves as well as the small topset onions!

Once you have this plant, you can keep growing it for life :)
