Planting & Care
Sow Evergreen Bunching Onion seeds directly in the garden in early spring or start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 4-6 inches apart to allow for clump development. These onions thrive in rich, well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
For a continuous harvest, cut outer leaves at the base when they reach 6-8 inches tall, leaving the inner leaves to grow. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to rejuvenate growth. Evergreen Bunching Onion is relatively pest-free and deer-resistant, making it a reliable addition to any garden.
