White Spear Onion
Perennial Green Onions! How brilliant to always have this ingredient on hand. White Spear is a gorgeously large, blue-green variety that is also marvelously heat-resistant.
JOY MAX QUALITIES:
Upright growth with no flopping, vigorous and easy to clean. So perfect that you don’t even need to cut the tops off.
Bunching onions are a great place to start if you’ve never grown onions before. For larger onions, you should get starter sets from a local nursery but bunching onions are very satisfying to grow from seed.
Since they are perennial, you only need to grow them from seed once and from there you’ll divide them as they slowly spread out. Unless you eat them all.
Large, beautiful globe-shaped flowers attract pollinators
Largely pest-free
Onions are a rich source of quercetin, a natural substance that suppresses the proliferation of some types of cancer cells.
Open-pollinated

Basic Growing Information
Space clumps of 10 seeds 6-12" apart. Sow 1/2" apart 1/4-1/2” deep. Keep well weeded so that plants receive maximum light. You may prefer to start indoors and set outside once onions are sturdy enough to transplant though some say onions grown in the ground will be hardier and grow larger than transplanted ones.
