60 days. Allium cepa. Open Pollinated. White Lisbon Bunching Onion. The plant produces excellent yields of good quality bunching onions. It has dark green foliage and long white stalks that hold up well after harvest. Onion does not form a bulb and has a smooth mild oniony flavor that is not overwhelming. Perfect for soups, salads, and garnishes. Heat and cold resistant variety. Best for spring planting, but also good for fall and winter planting. It is a cold-hardy variety that will winter over. They are a perennial type plant and the more you cut them the more they grow! The plants grow well close together so great for square foot gardening. If you leave the base of the plant in the ground over winter they will come up every year! Suitable for containers, pots, small gardens, patios, raised gardens, borders/rock gardens, herb gardens, and window boxes. This variety can be used in greenhouse production too. An excellent choice for home gardens, greenhouses, market growers, and open field production. An heirloom variety was grown by farmers and gardeners for over 200 years.

You can harvest onion for their green stems (scallions) at anytime. Cut the green stems with garden scissors when tops are 4 - 8" tall. For bulb product, let the tops dry up themselves before digging them up. Spread bulbs on ground for 3 to 5 days to cure.
