Bunching Onion Long White represents the premier cold-climate selection among bunching onion varieties, developed through generations of selective breeding for exceptional winter survival and reliable performance across challenging growing seasons. This exceptional hardiness enables flexible cultivation strategies — spring sowing for summer harvests or fall planting for overwintering — allowing gardeners to extend productive seasons and maintain fresh onion supplies across multiple harvest windows. The variety’s minimal bulbing characteristic ensures consistent shaft quality and tender texture ideal for fresh consumption. Plants reach 12–18 inches in height and produce abundant, slender white stems with mild, slightly sweet onion flavor. Harvest in about 60 days.

Why Choose Bunching Onion Long White?

• Heirloom Seed: Passed down through generations for at least 75 years for reliable harvests and authentic flavor.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA structure has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.
• Exceptional Cold Hardiness: One of the hardiest bunching onion varieties available — overwinters reliably and produces fresh harvests in early spring when most crops are dormant.
• Flexible Planting: Sow in spring for summer harvest or fall for overwintering — multiple harvest windows from a single variety.
• Minimal Bulbing: Consistent, slender white shaft quality throughout the season — uniform texture and appearance ideal for fresh use and presentation.
• Mild, Sweet Flavor: Delicate onion flavor perfect for salads, garnishes, Asian cuisine, and grilled preparations.
• Easy to Grow: Forgiving of small mistakes — a great choice for beginner and experienced gardeners alike.

Planting Tips for Success

• When to Plant: Sow directly ¼ inch deep in early spring for summer harvest, or in late summer/fall for overwintering and spring harvest.
• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best growth.
• Soil: Well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Seeds germinate best at soil temperatures between 60–75°F.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep.
• Spacing: Thin or plant seedlings 1–2 inches apart in rows 6–12 inches apart for best shaft development and air circulation.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained. Avoid waterlogging, which can cause root rot.
• Support: No staking needed — bunching onions are upright and self-supporting.
• Fertilizing: Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 3–4 weeks to encourage lush, vigorous top growth.
• 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.
