Bunching Onion Tokyo Long White is a premium Japanese heirloom variety prized for its long, slender white stalks and mild, sweet flavor. These non-GMO seeds produce upright, vigorous plants that thrive in a wide range of climates and are exceptionally well-suited for container gardening, raised beds, and small garden spaces. Tokyo Long White is a staple in Asian cuisine, valued for its tender texture and versatility in cooked and fresh applications. Unlike bulbing onions, bunching onions do not form a true bulb — they are harvested for their slender white shanks and tender green tops, both of which are fully edible. Plants can be harvested continuously throughout the season, making them one of the most productive and rewarding onion varieties for home gardeners. Harvest in approximately 60–65 days from transplant.

Germination Rate: 79%. Test Date: 5/26. TLM.

Planting Tips for Success

• When to Plant: Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost or direct sow outdoors in early spring or fall. Succession-plant every 3–4 weeks for continuous harvest.
• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and stalk development.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep.
• Spacing: Space plants 1–2 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart. Thin to 3–4 inches for larger shanks.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged to prevent rot.
• Support: No staking needed. Mulch with 2–3 inches to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Fertilizing: Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer at planting and side-dress mid-season to encourage lush, tall growth.
• Harvesting: Harvest when shanks reach ½ inch in diameter. Cut at soil level or pull entire plant. Regrowth may occur from the base. Ready in 60–65 days from transplant.
