Knocked our socks off in our bunching onion trials!
We've never seen such a uniform, upright bunching onion, not a single leaf leaning over. Gorgeous rows of dark green and vigorous stalks with no bulbing at all, making cleaning easy and quick. Parade has a nice, mild onion flavor. From our partners at Bejo Seeds.

Disease Resistance Details: Intermediate Resistance: Basal Rot, Pink Root
Soil Nutrients and Requirements: Onions prefer soils rich in organic matter that are well-drained. Optimal pH is 6.2-6.8. They cannot tolerate acid soils, especially in early stages. 80 lbs/A nitrogen is recommended. Sidedress 4-5 weeks after planting. High levels of sulfur in the soil will increase pungency. Best results come from selecting a bed with the least weed pressure possible.
Planting depth: 1/4-1/2"
Plant Spacing: Thin if desired to 2”
Row spacing: 12-18".
When to Sow: Direct sow seeds as soon as soil can be worked.  Seeds are slow to germinate and grow, it is important to keep them well weeded so that the weeds do not take over.
Other Considerations: Hill stalks to promote elongation and blanching.
Harvest when desired.
