Evergreen Bunching Onion is a versatile heirloom variety that produces clusters of long, slender green onions with a crisp texture and mild, zesty flavor. Unlike bulbing onions, this variety is grown specifically for its tender green stalks and small white bases rather than forming a large underground bulb. The plants produce clusters of straight, upright stalks that reach 12 to 14 inches tall with white-fleshed bases and vibrant green tops. They grow in a tight bunching habit with a compact spread of about 4 inches, making them an efficient use of garden space. The flavor is mild and pleasantly oniony without the sharp bite of larger bulbing varieties, making them perfect for using fresh in salads, sandwiches, soups, and stir-fries. They are an excellent substitute for chives and work beautifully as a finishing garnish or braised simply with butter. Evergreen Bunching Onions are a kitchen garden essential that you will find yourself reaching for constantly once you have a patch growing. One of the greatest strengths of this variety is its exceptional cold hardiness and disease resistance. The plants can overwinter in many regions, coming back in early spring for one of the first harvests of the season. They are also well-suited to succession planting — sow a new crop every two to three weeks throughout the growing season for a continuous supply of fresh green onions from spring through fall. Evergreen Bunching Onion grows best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture of about 2 inches per week. The plants attract beneficial pollinators including bees and butterflies and are naturally deer-resistant. Our non-GMO seeds are open-pollinated, untreated, and provided in their natural state.
