Plant Care & Growing Tips

To successfully cultivate your evergreen bunching onion seeds, follow these essential care and growing tips. These onions thrive in well-draining soil and prefer a location that receives full sun, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you’re growing them indoors, place them near a south-facing window or under grow lights to ensure they get adequate light. Prepare your soil by enriching it with compost or well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients and improve drainage. The ideal pH for growing onions is between 6.0 and 7.0.

Watering should be consistent, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, as excessive moisture can lead to rot. Fertilize sparingly with a balanced organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. These heirloom vegetable seeds are generally robust, but watch out for common pests like onion thrips or diseases such as downy mildew. Good air circulation and proper spacing can help prevent fungal issues. For best results with your non-GMO onion seeds, plant them in succession every few weeks from early spring until late summer to ensure a continuous supply of fresh scallions.

Grow green onions from these seeds by sowing them about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows about 12 inches apart. Once seedlings emerge and are a few inches tall, thin them to 2-4 inches apart to allow for proper development. You can harvest the outer leaves as needed, or cut the entire plant about an inch above the soil line, and it will regrow. These onions are generally annuals but can act as tender perennials in milder climates (USDA zones 6-9), often self-seeding or overwintering to provide an early spring harvest of Japanese bunching onion.
