HEIRLOOM These scrumptious Negi onions are bunching onions, most commonly grown in the US as scallions, though they’re a delicacy in Japan when hilled like leeks and grown 6+ months, allowing their flavors to deepen. Grill them, oh grill them! Just like scallions, Negi onions are perennial here in Zone 5 (hooray!) and ours have been thriving for years here at the farm. They’re such a sweet spring treat to harvest the first of them as the snows melt! If you allow even a few of them to overwinter, you’ll see their blooms the following summer, round orbs of sweet white flowers bustling with butterflies and bees.

Organic Japanese Negi Onion

Planting Method: Direct Seed or Transplant

To Direct Sow: Early spring (4-6 weeks before last frost) through summer, sow every 1/3 inch in 2-inch wide bands. Thin to 1 inch apart if large diameter is desired.

For Transplanting: Sow indoors, 6 weeks before final frost, 2 seeds per cell or soil block.. Heat mats help hasten germination. Water evenly, thin to one per cell. Clip tops once 5” tall (enjoy like chives). Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings. Late spring, transplant 1-2 inches apart, as deep as you can with at least 2 inches remaining above the soil.

Seed Depth: 1/4 inch Days to Germination: 5 at 75°F; 12 at 60°F

Sowing and seedling care: Onions are hungry! There is a direct relationship between the quantity & quality of nutrients available and the quality and quantity of onions you’ll harvest. We foliar feed with dilute fish & kelp emulsion every 2 to 3 weeks until the summer solstice. Hill mulch around their stems for even more tender, snowy white scallion delight!

Spacing after thinning/transplanting: 1-2 inches Sun Needs: Full

Days to Harvest: 30 days to baby harvest; 50-60 days to full harvest; can be perennial

Harvest: You can harvest as an annual or grow as perennial — if you leave some to overwinter, they are such a sweet spring treat to harvest as the snows melt.
