They do like some water in drought season,but survive stony sandy soil and winter freezes, and reseed via bulblets. The very young thin leaves have good onion flavor for soup/stews/chile. (Older bigger leaves are tough and fibrous.)
Get them before postage goes up in January!
Do you have any leftover seeds for greens (kale, spinach, chard, Asian) or roots (radish, beet, carrot) seeds for NV food bank plots, zone 6? Prefer openpollenated or heirloom, but any welcome.

I had a fungus wipe out all my onions and I'm trying to recover. The
Egyptian Walking Onions was one of my casualties and I'd love to get
any bulbets you can spare. My E. Onions had been with me for 25 years
and I miss them. I have Red Mustard seed and Viroflay spinach seed
if you would like them. They're both open pollinated/organic and came to me
through the Seed Savers Organization.

Artemio, I'm mailing them to you as soon as the fog clears enough for me to drive to the post office (in another town). So far our little valley is completely surrounded by fog again, and when I can't see any of the hills or mountains at all, I hesitate driving.
It's been more like February here the last week than midDecember, cold, grey, and not even a peek of sun.

Artemio, I mailed your walking onion bulblets this morning from Silver Springs NV, very small box from US Post Office.
This afternoon your package arrived--thanks!
Please clue me in on the upland cress. Carla Emery's Encyclopedia of Country Living briefly mentions it can be grown indoors in pot over the winter. Is this correct? Watering advice/soil mixture?
If you need more walking Egyptian onions, I still have some extremely tiny ones left, and can mail them after the holidays if you want them.
Again, thanks for the Virofly spinach and red mustard--looking forward to planting them in a few months. The upland cress will be new to me--it sounds good too.
