Warrior Onion Seeds

Warrior Bunching Onion (Allium fistulosum ‘Warrior’) is a fast-growing, non-bulbing green onion cultivar valued for its crisp texture and strong, pungent onion flavor, ideal for fresh use in salads, salsas, garnishes, and cooked dishes like stir-fries and soups. Plants form tight upright clumps of hollow, blue‑green cylindrical stalks with short white bases about ½ inch thick, creating neat rows of scallion‑like stems that are easy to harvest and clean. Highly adaptable and cold-hardy. Warrior is well suited to garden beds or containers, providing a reliable, cut‑and‑come‑again harvest over a long season when sown successively.

Characteristics

Foliage: Slender, hollow blue‑green stalks with mild to moderately pungent onion flavor; both green tops and white bases are fully edible and used much like scallions or spring onions in fresh and cooked dishes.

Growth Habit: Upright, clumping habit forming dense bunches 12 to 22 inches tall, with leaves emerging from a compact basal cluster rather than forming large bulbs.

Flowers & Seeds: If allowed to mature, sturdy stalks can bear rounded umbels of small whitish flowers that set seed, but most gardeners harvest plants before flowering to maintain tender texture.

Flavor: Crisp and juicy with a strong, clean onion bite, excellent for adding depth to salads, grilled dishes, stir‑fries, and as a garnish similar to scallions or Welsh onions.

Growing Requirements

Light: Performs best in full sun, though it can tolerate light partial shade with somewhat reduced vigor.

Soil: Rich, well‑drained loam or sandy loam with good organic matter; neutral to slightly acidic soil is ideal for steady growth and clean white shanks.

Water: Requires consistent, even moisture; avoid prolonged drought or waterlogged conditions to prevent stress, toughness, or rot.

Temperature: Thrives in cool to mild conditions; seeds germinate well once soil is around 45°F and grow best roughly between 60°F and 85°F, with good cold tolerance for fall and overwintering in suitable climates. 

Spacing: Sow or transplant in bands or rows, thinning to about ½ to 1 inch between seedlings for bunching, with rows spaced 8 to 12 inches apart to allow clumps to size up.

Harvest: Ready for green onion use in about 60 days from sowing; harvest individual stalks or entire clusters as needed, cutting or pulling while stems are pencil‑thick to thumb‑thick for best texture.

Seed Sowing Tips

Sow seeds shallowly, about ¼ inch deep, in finely prepared soil in early spring as soon as the ground is workable, or in late summer to fall in mild climates for spring.

Germination typically occurs in 10–15 days under favorable temperatures, with uniform stands forming quickly when soil stays evenly moist.

Thin seedlings gradually to the desired spacing, using thinnings as very young scallions and allowing remaining plants to form dense bunches for continued cutting and extended harvest.
