growing scallions

Question

Hi,

I’m a newbie gardener. I love scallions but am confused how to plant them when they are in sets. They don’t come with instructions.

Are heirloom seeds a good way to go, and how do you harvest the seeds?

Thanks,

Myra

Answer 1

You can plant your sets about 1 inch deep, 2 to 3 inches apart. This article will tell you more about it:

Scallions produce seeds very similarly to onions, so you should be able to follow this article to learn about seed harvest:
