| Growing & Harvesting | For repeated harvests of bunching onion greens, clip plants about an inch above the soil surface, and they will regrow. After cutting, apply fertilizer that is higher in nitrogen than phosphorus and potassium to encourage rapid regrowth. Bunching onions of the species Allium cepa can also form a bulb if given the time and space. To grow bulbs, harvest entire plants, leaving 3"-4" of space between the plants you want to remain and produce bulbs. |

What a great scallion! We started seeds in the winter and transplanted, but I also did a second sow in the ground over summer and got another great batch. Wherever I planted seeds randomly, they grew. They grew tall and sturdy. A new must-have.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your fantastic experience with our Tokyo Long White Bunching/Scallion Onion Seeds! Your photo is beautiful. Captures the scallion and looks so artsy at the same time! We love hearing that you had such success with multiple plantings - starting indoors in winter and then direct sowing in summer for a second batch! That's such smart succession planting! It sounds like these seeds are real champions with how reliably they grew wherever you planted them and got so tall and sturdy. Thanks for sharing your growing success with us. Keep on growing 🌻️
- Karen F.NY, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/16/25Going good!
So far so good! They have made it through the first snow. I'm in zone 6b. They are still growing even though I got them in a bit late. I still have more seeds to plant in the Spring.
