Number of seeds 200 seeds

Originating from the large onion family, the Parade bunching onion has carved out a prime spot in kitchen gardens for its long, hollow, straight, and upright leaves. It is cultivated not for the bulb, but for its glossy green foliage, with its distinct fresh onion flavor, which is harvested in bunches throughout the season.

In the garden, Parade grows in tight, even clumps, easy to tuck into a corner of the vegetable patch or along an edible border. Sown in several waves, it accompanies the entire cycle of mild seasons and offers a discreet yet constant presence in the harmonious garden. Its slender shape blends well with other vegetables, and its soil-friendly cultivation makes it a reliable plant in a diverse, edible space.

Growing climate: Cool season
Sowing difficulty level: Easy
Care required: Occasional
Growth: Rapid growth

Note: Well suited to staggered sowings in spring and late summer to extend leaf harvests.

Parade is primarily consumed for its fresh, crisp leaves. They are harvested in bunches and used like chives or green onions: chopped in salads, added at the end of cooking to soups, omelets, and stir-fries, or used as an aromatic garnish. They are well-suited for everyday use in home cooking throughout the warmer months.
