Bunching onion 'Parade'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Parade is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to survive through freezing conditions. Ideally plant in loamy and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 7.0 as Parade likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Exclude light to aid germination. (Place newspaper or a heavy towel over the flat.)

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.23 inches (0.6 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Parade about 28 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Parade is a very hardy plant.

You can extend the harvest by harvesting smaller onions as thinnings. This variety will not form bulbs, which is helpful in extending the harvest season into mid-summer.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early summer.
