Organic Onion: Evergreen Bunching Planting Instructions:
Start your Evergreen Bunching Onions indoors 6 to 10 weeks before the last frost, or direct-seed after all danger of frost passes. Place seeds 1/4 inch deep and cover with fine soil. Space the seeds 3 to 4" apart and in rows 1 to 2" apart. Within 7 to 14 days, seedlings should emerge. Plant the seeds more closely together if you plan to harvest scallions. Plant in full sun in a location where you did not plant onions the previous year. When the plants stand about 1 to 2" tall, thin to 3" apart. Keep weeds under control and water regularly. Fertilize about six weeks after planting.
Organic Onion: Evergreen Bunching Harvesting Instructions:
Bunching Onions have a growth time of 75 days, after which they can be harvested. The longer they remain in the ground, however, the stronger their flavor will be. They are fully mature after around 120 days. If you protect the plants from the cold, they can overwinter for spring bunching. Bunching Onions can be used as both green onions and scallions. They do not store well long-term.
Did You Know This About Evergreen Bunching Onions?
Evergreen Bunching Onions are commonly known as scallions because the green stems are usually eaten instead of the white part. If left to mature, however, the onions will produce a delicious bulb.
