White Spear Onion

$3.00

Perennial Green Onions! How brilliant to always have this ingredient on hand. White Spear is a gorgeously large, blue-green variety that is also marvelously heat-resistant.

JOY MAX QUALITIES:

  • Upright growth with no flopping, vigorous and easy to clean. So perfect that you don’t even need to cut the tops off.

  • Bunching onions are a great place to start if you’ve never grown onions before. For larger onions, you should get starter sets from a local nursery but bunching onions are very satisfying to grow from seed.

  • Since they are perennial, you only need to grow them from seed once and from there you’ll divide them as they slowly spread out. Unless you eat them all.

  • Large, beautiful globe-shaped flowers attract pollinators

  • Largely pest-free

  • Onions are a rich source of quercetin, a natural substance that suppresses the proliferation of some types of cancer cells.

  • Open-pollinated
