Allium fistulosum. A reliable, non-bulbing perennial onion that produces tall, straight dark green stalks with bright white bases. It has mild, slightly sweet flavour that is perfect for fresh use in salads, garnishes, and cooking.
Parade’s vigorous growth habit makes harvesting easy, while its intermediate resistance to basal rot and pink root helps ensure healthy crops. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.
Developed in the U.S. mid-20th century for early maturity, cold tolerance, and vigorous growth. It descends from traditional Asian Welsh onions and is prized for its mild flavour.
Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost. Sow directly outdoors after frost risk passes. Late summer sowing can produce a fall harvest and early spring regrowth. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Harvest stalks at 6–12 inches tall.
