Evergreen White Nebuka Onion Seeds

Sow Evergreen White Nebuka Onion seeds 0.25 inch deep, either indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost or directly in the garden in spring or fall. Germination happens in 7–10 days when soil temperature is between 50°F and 80°F.. Gardeners in zones 10–11 get the best results from a fall planting. Once seedlings are up, thin them to 2–4 inches apart with 12–15 inches between rows.

Evergreen Long White Allium Fistulosum requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Soil should be well-drained, since wet feet cause rot. Choose loose soil as heavy clay without amendment will cause problems. Water consistently during establishment, then reduce waterings. Evergreen White Nebuka Onion genuinely prefers cool weather, so spring and fall plantings will outperform a midsummer sowing in most climates.

This onion variety is genuinely low-maintenance. All you have to do is divide clumps every few years so they don't get overcrowded, and that's mostly it. To harvest, either pull the whole plant when shanks are developed, or cut the green tops an inch above soil level and let the plant regrow. White shanks work raw or cooked; green tops go into soups, stir fry, and chilis. In zone 4 and warmer, established clumps typically come back each spring without any special winter care.
