HEIRLOOM Did you know bunching onions, also known as scallions, are perennial? So often grown as an annual, scallions are perennial here Zone 5. We sow both in spring for summer scallions as well as fall for a treat to enjoy in April as the snows melt. Either planting will overwinter in the gardens, regrowing quickly as soon as the snows melt, ready to be munched, divided or allowed to flower for some of the most gorgeous flowers we’ve ever seen.

Organic Parade Bunching Onion

Planting Method: Direct Seed or Transplant

To Direct Sow: Early spring (4-6 weeks before last frost) through early fall, 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.
