Bunching onions grow best in bunches with no worry of spacing. Tightly broadcast seeds in the garden or sow about 10 per hole 1 inch deep in loamy, well-drained soil in full sun. Seeds may also be started indoors 5-6 weeks indoors before transplanting. Bunching onions are tenacious and grow in nearly any kind of soil. Bunching onion does not grow perennially as a bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen planted from seed, Tokyo Long White Onions grow to maturity in 65-100 days. Bunching onions have slender roots and start to form scallions in a few weeks. Harvest as tender scallions or wait for slender 16-18\" stalks to grow. Can be grown in fall or spring when temperatures are in the 60\"s. This particular bunching onion variety can be grown in container gardens and small spaces due to having a smaller root system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTokyo Long White Bunching Onion in the Vegetable Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnions are resistant to hot weather but are cold tolerant.

These are great on top of eggs, salads, baked potatoes, and pasta. This is also a great option for a person who is gardening in containers or has limited space like a balcony.
