Warrior Bunching Onion Seeds

Days to Maturity: 60 from direct sow; 30 from transplant
All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 2016
One of the easiest bunching or green onion varieties you will ever grow from seed, Warrior deserves its All-America Selection with every crisp, pungent bite. This is a terrific choice for gardeners everywhere, but was singled out by the AAS judges for its outstanding performance in the Southeast, Southwest, and mountainous regions of the US. You’re going to love its trouble free growth, great holding power, and rich flavor.
If you are used to supermarket green onions, you will be pleasantly surprised by the depth of flavor in Warrior’s dark green tops and small, tender ½-inch-diameter bulbs. This is a fragrant, powerfully spicy, crisp bite, adding a lot of flavor in very little seasoning. Warrior can be used as a guard plant in the rose garden or vegetable patch, too, its aroma and spicy flavor discouraging nibbling pests from venturing any further into the garden.
This vigorous variety is so compact that it is also suitable for container use, even if you let it mature to full size to harvest its bulb. Dense and upright, it maintains a slender silhouette packed with dark green foliage.
And if you can’t harvest Warrior right away, no problem—it holds up well in the garden, refusing to flop or become limp. This is the onion you will rely on at both ends of the season—when it is a bit too soon or a bit too late for the peak of the season. Its flavor and texture hold brilliantly.
Warrior makes a particularly good choice for new gardeners, because it is resistant to pink root and generally free from pests and diseases. Easy to grow, quick to harvest, versatile and compact—everything about this bunching onion is just a bit better. You’re going to love it.
Sow seeds 2 per inch in the early spring or early fall garden, setting them ½-inch deep and then thinning to 3 to 4 inches apart.
