Lisbon bunching onions or scallions are a form of onions related to garlic and belong to the Lilly family. Scallions can grow much closer together because, unlike the onion or garlic, it’s not the bulb that you’re going for it’s actually the stem. The base of the stem is white. It’s just an unformed bulb as such you can plant those plants much closer together and that’s why they call them bunching onions. They can be grown in bunches literally and are really well suited for a limited container.
If you plant them separately give them one to two inches. Any green garlic or onion can be used as a crunching onion so you can cut stems off of your garlic early and use that as a form of scallion and you can do similarly with any variety of onion. Scallions or onions can be grown and harvested in any state really because it is the stem and it’s green. It can be harvested at three weeks, 5 weeks, 7 weeks or you can wait longer for your harvest and maintain guard.
