description

The Allium fistulosum 'Parade' bunching onion is a versatile organic variety, vigorous and particularly appreciated for its rapid growth and the fineness of its long, mild-tasting green stems. In the garden, it quickly forms beautiful upright clumps that bring structure, freshness, and abundance to vegetable patches and container gardens alike. Unlike bulb onions, it concentrates all its energy on producing tender, flavorful foliage, perfect for repeated harvests throughout the season. Its delicate flavor, both fresh and subtly aromatic, makes it a choice ingredient for enhancing salads, soups, stir-fries, and a host of everyday dishes. Easy to grow in rich, well-drained soil, it suits both beginner gardeners and enthusiasts who want a simple, productive, and always useful crop in the kitchen. Its fine and neat silhouette blends harmoniously into vegetable beds, where it also contributes to garden diversity. We particularly love cutting a few stems within reach, just before a meal, to enjoy their full freshness. Both practical, flavorful, and easy to succeed with, 'Parade' is a must-have for modern food gardens.
