    Choose Your Bunching Onions

    • Crimson Forest: Explore a colorful bunching onion selection with red-toned lower stems for fresh and cooked uses.
    • Long White: Choose a white-stemmed bunching onion for classic scallion harvests.
    • A different harvest from bulb onions: Grow for tender tops and bases rather than expecting large storage bulbs. Common names such as scallion, green onion and spring onion can overlap, so follow each variety's description.

    Planting Tips for Success

    • Follow local timing: Match sowing dates to your climate and each variety's guidance. Winter harvest and overwintering depend on local conditions and protection, not the crop name alone.
    • Choose a starting method: Direct sow or start seedlings for transplanting where appropriate, following product-specific instructions.
    • Provide sun and drainage: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil or a suitable container with drainage holes.
    • Sow at the right depth: Follow the packet's planting and thinning instructions, adjusting spacing to the intended harvest size.
    • Water consistently: Keep the seedbed moist during germination and maintain even moisture without waterlogging.
    • Weed carefully: Reduce competition while avoiding damage to shallow onion roots.
    • Feed thoughtfully: Use soil-test recommendations and fertilizer-label directions rather than excessive feeding.
    • Stagger sowings: Where seasonal conditions allow, sow small batches for a spread of fresh harvests.

    Harvest While Tender

    Harvest at the size and stage recommended for your variety. Loosen the soil gently before lifting whole plants to protect nearby roots. Wash harvested onions well and refrigerate for fresh use. Unlike storage bulb onions, scallions are generally enjoyed fresh rather than cured for long-term dry storage.

    Cooking Ideas for Your Harvest

    • Fresh toppings: Slice into salads, grain bowls, baked potatoes and other meals.
    • Dips and spreads: Stir chopped scallions into suitable dressings, dips or savory spreads.
    • Soups: Add to broth-based dishes or use tender greens as a finishing garnish.
    • Stir-fries and eggs: Cook lower stems briefly and add tender greens near the end for fresh flavor.

    Kitchen suggestions refer to harvested onions, not planting seeds. These products are seeds, not live plants or harvested scallions.

    Helpful Onion Guide

    Understanding onion day length explains an important consideration when choosing bulb onions. Bunching onions are grown for a different harvest than full-size storage bulbs.
