Growing Instructions
Starting your seeds
You can start bunching onion (green onion) seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing bunching onion seeds, plant them about 1/4 inch deep with a light cover of soil in well-drained soil. Space them 1.5–2 inches apart to allow for steady growth and easy harvesting.
Harvesting your seeds
To harvest green onions, wait until they reach about 6 inches in height. Use scissors or garden shears to snip off the leaves about an inch above the soil level. This way, the remaining plant can continue to produce more leaves for future harvests. Harvesting young and tender green onions is ideal for a mild flavor.
