• Rich Flavor: Full-bodied, slightly spicy flavor profile superior to standard green onions — excellent raw or cooked.
• Versatile Growing Conditions: Thrives in containers, raised beds, garden plots, and greenhouses.
• Heirloom Seed: Passed down through generations for at least 75 years for reliable, consistent harvests year after year.

Planting Tips for Success

• Direct Sow or Transplant: Sow seeds directly ¼ inch deep outdoors in early spring or fall, or start indoors 8–10 weeks before transplanting.
• Soil Temperature: Seeds germinate best at soil temperatures between 60–75°F.
• Spacing: Thin or plant seedlings 1–2 inches apart in rows 6–12 inches apart for best bulking and air circulation.
• Sunlight: Plant in full sun — at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for best growth and color development.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained. Avoid waterlogging, which can cause root rot.
• Fertilizing: Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 3–4 weeks to encourage lush, vigorous top growth.
• Container Growing: Use a pot at least 6 inches deep. Plant densely and harvest outer stalks as needed for a continuous cut-and-come-again harvest.
• Harvesting: Harvest when stalks are 12–18 inches tall. Cut at the base or pull entire clumps. New growth will regrow from the base for multiple harvests.
