SPRING ONION-GREEN BUNCHING Evergreen is a common bulbless small bunching onion. Fresh & tangy when used raw in salads, this all-around onion can be used in Asian cuisine such as stir-fries. Quick to mature, they are easy to grow and early, they have long and slender silvery shanks.
Sow sparingly to avoid thinning out; ideally allow 2cm between each seedling. Each seed should then produce a single well-shaped onion. Harvest when the foliage has fully died down. Store in a cool, dry place. Sow Spring or early autumn.

More About Us
ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
