Organic Evergreen White Bunching Onion Seeds

This is one of the best leek varieties out there! It is very winter-hardy with a great mild flavor. The enormous stalks grow up to 16" long and remain tender! 200 seeds. Non-GMO

Sowing: Since most onions take a few months to mature from seed, gardeners with a short growing season may want to start their seed indoors. Plant the seeds 1/4" deep in a flat 2-3 months before the last frost date; keep the soil moist and at room temperature. When the tops begin to flop over, cut them off to 3" to focus the growing on the roots. Four weeks before the last frost or when the soil reaches at least 50 degrees F, transplant the seedlings 3" apart in rows 12" apart. For direct sowing, sow three seeds per inch 1/4" deep in light, rich soil and full sun. Thin the seedlings 3" apart. Thinned onions can be transplanted or used for fresh eating. For companion planting benefits, plant onions with members of the cabbage family, lettuce, or tomatoes; avoid planting onions with peas or beans.

Growing: Onions need moisture especially in their first several weeks of growth, and they cannot fight against weeds; mulching onions can help with both moisture and weed control. Evergreen White Bunching onions tolerate cold and light frost, since they are the most cold hardy bunching onion available. They are also slow to bolt and resistant to PR, thrips and smut.
