Bunching onion 'Parade'

Allium fistulosum

Product code : JAREC-0162

Parade bunching onions are harvested for their white stems and green leaves, like a green onion. They do not form the large bulb of a storage onion. Their upright habit allows for close-row planting, with progressive harvesting depending on the desired size for cooking. These organic seeds from Jardins de l’écoumène allow you to prepare your own seedlings and follow their development from sowing. Rows of onions and leeks are suitable for garden areas where you can work without walking between plants. Their vertical habit can border a more spreading crop, provided the foliage receives adequate light.

Bunching Onion ‘Parade’ (Allium fistulosum). The Parade bunching onion is harvested for its white stalks and green leaves, like a green onion. It does not form the large bulb of a storage onion. Its upright habit allows for close planting in rows, with progressive harvests according to the desired size for cooking. These organic seeds from Jardins de l’écoumène allow you to prepare your own plants and follow their development from sowing. Rows of onions and leeks are suitable for areas of the vegetable garden where you can work without walking between the plants.

Recommended sowing period: April to July. The recommended depth is 1 cm (3/8 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the soil at 15 to 21 °C (59 to 70 °F). Keep onion, leek, or shallot seedlings well-identified, as their young foliage looks similar. Sufficient light and regular moisture accompany the growth of seedlings. Transplant delicately when the type of cultivation requires it, without crushing the base of the leaves. In the garden, prepare an easy-to-weed surface: these narrow plants cover little of the soil at the beginning of their development.

Unlike bulb onions, it concentrates all its energy on producing tender and flavorful foliage, perfect for repeated harvests throughout the season. Rows of onions and leeks are suitable for areas of the vegetable garden where you can work without walking between the plants. Their vertical habit can border a more spreading crop, provided the foliage receives enough light. Identify bunching varieties and bulb varieties to choose the right harvest stage. Keep the row accessible for weeding until the plants are well established.

Growing method

Recommended sowing period: April to July. The recommended depth is 1 cm (3/8 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the potting mix at 15 to 21 °C (59 to 70 °F). Keep onion, leek, or shallot seedlings well-identified, as their young foliage looks similar. Ample light and regular moisture accompany seedling growth. Transplant carefully when the type of crop requires it, without crushing the base of the leaves. In the garden, prepare a surface that is easy to weed: these narrow plants provide little ground cover early in their development. Weed regularly around alliums by working shallowly. Their fine foliage does not quickly protect the soil from competition. Observe the desired part at harvest: tender shaft, aromatic leaves, or mature bulb. For storage bulbs, the harvest stage and drying are as important as the size. Handle the bases with care to limit damage before cooking or storing. Green onions and storage onions are not harvested at the same stage. For storage bulbs, wait for signs of maturation and dry the harvest in a well-ventilated area.

Garden associations

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

In a diversified plantation, you can reserve neighboring sections for these plants: carrots, lettuces, beets. The association here serves to organize space and harvests. Respect the height, light, and water needs of each plant, without crowding the foliage. Maintain a path for watering and picking, then remove finished crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance without promising protection against pests. Rows of onions and leeks are suitable for areas of the vegetable garden where you can work without stepping between plants.

Cooking idea with 'Parade' Bunching Onion: onion fondue for four servings. Prepare 500g of the harvested, cleaned, and sliced part, then sauté it in 15ml of olive oil over medium heat. Add 30ml of water, cover, and continue gently until tender. Young shoots cook faster than well-developed bulbs. Stir regularly and add a little water if the bottom sticks. Season with salt and pepper and serve on toast or as a side dish with roasted vegetables. Prepare ingredients with clean utensils and adjust the cut to the size of your harvest. This recipe highlights freshly picked parts: remove damaged pieces before preparation. If you double the quantities, leave enough space in the dish to mix or cook evenly. Quickly place leftovers in the refrigerator in a closed container and consume within two days. For a meal for two, simply divide all quantities by two.
