Deep Purple Organic Onion Seedling Product ID:491G Take advantage of our overstock position! Rich reddish purple. The first red buncher is highly colored at any temperature. For spring or summer sowing. USDA Certified Organic. SCIENTIFIC NAME:Allium fistulosum CULTURE: Seed can be sown in early spring for summer use, and in July or August for fall and spring use. Bunching onions prefer a soil with a pH of 6.2–6.8. Extra-hardy varieties will normally survive the winter if the soil is well-drained. BLANCHING: During the growing period hill the plants with soil 2 or 3 times, higher with each hoeing. This forces the leaves higher up the plant resulting in extra-long blanched stalks and a much greater edible portion. When using the "dibble method", hilling is reduced or eliminated. HARVEST: Loosen with fork or underminer and gather. Wash, hydrocool, and hold at near freezing until shipped or displayed.
