Start indoors 5-6 weeks before the last frost. Sow 1/8-1/4″ deep in soil-less mix in flats and clip them as they grow so they grow no taller than 5″. Transplant when all frost is past, 3″ apart. Bunching onions are actually a perennial but most often grown as an annual in our climate. Onions require rich, well drained soil with lots of organic matter and like all members of the Allium family do not like weed pressure of any kind so they do very well in well maintained raised beds.
