Bunching onion 'Evergreen Hardy'

Bunching onions can be direct seeded or started as seedlings. Direct sow as soon as soil can be worked. Sow seeds 18-1/4" in 2" bands with rows 12-18" apart. Trim tops of seedlings when they reach 5" to thicken stem, trim to 1". Harvest at desirable size. Make successive planting for season long harvest and/or leave in the garden to over winter for early spring scallions. -From back of High Mowing Seeds packet
