Easy to grow. Green Onions also known as Bunching Onions are actually perennial plants that will live year after year. Plant in full sun, in soil that is well amended with compost. Feed with a high nitrogen fertilizer for nice sweet green onions. Regular water is best.
Planting: Either separate each seedling by gently teasing apart the roots, and planting each seedling 2-3 inches apart. Or, plant the entire cluster of seedlings, spacing each cluster about 5-6 inches apart.

Harvest when the green onions are about ¼-1/2 inch in diameter. Green Onion clusters may be left in the ground and the clump of plants can be divided each year. When sauteed they become very sweet and they are a great addition to rice, omelettes, and soups. They are also great raw in salads.
