Our latest YouTube video shows you how to sow a patch of green onions so you can stop buying green onions forever. Use this patch for a semi-perennial harvest for months. Then plant more in a different spot.
Not sure how this works? We’ve got your covered.

Grow green onions from seed like Spring Salad Scallions or Evergreen White Nabuka (we make a few cents if you use these links).
If you buy seedlings at the nursery, do this before you plant them out. This process makes all the difference.
Use green onion tops just as you would use the whole thing in any recipe. They will grow new shoots for several months.
Try any of these recipes with green onion tops.
You can also harvest the whole scallion by cutting at the soil level, and it will regrow. We do this to the whole patch if signs of rust appear. It grows back without rust!
Make this perpetual green onion patch part of your spring/summer garden. It only takes a few square feet and it keeps on giving back.
the “whole” seedling, not the “who” seedling
Thanks for catching that typo. It’s fixed now.
