Starting from seed

Direct sow in spring or start indoors 8-10 weeks before planting. Sow 1/4 in. deep; at 65-70 F allow 7-14 days. Thin to 3-4 in. apart, rows 12-15 in. apart. Give sun, fertile draining soil and even water; keep young rows weeded.

Planting and care

Direct sow in spring or start indoors 8-10 weeks before planting. Sow 1/4 in. deep; at 65-70 F allow 7-14 days. Thin to 3-4 in. apart, rows 12-15 in. apart. Give sun, fertile draining soil and even water; keep young rows weeded. Warrior is a nonbulbing bunching onion; an intermediate-day bulbing category does not apply. It won a regional AAS award in 2016.

Harvest and use

Begin checking near 60 days from sowing or 30 days from transplanting. Pull young scallions; wash and refrigerate. For seed, leave selected plants to flower later, isolate other A. fistulosum and gather heads as seeds darken and dry.

Saving seed

Select several healthy, true-to-type Warrior Bunching AAS plants that match the expected clumping/tufted habit and overall plant form. Avoid saving seed only from the earliest or largest individual unless that is your deliberate selection goal. Pollination system: Insect-pollinated Allium. Compatible cultivars of the same species can cross while flowering. Separate compatible varieties that may flower together, or use cages, barriers, hand pollination, or another documented control appropriate to the crop. Warrior Bunching AAS is a perennial. Seed production may require overwintering, vernalization, or more than one growing season, depending on climate and crop biology. Clean the seed carefully, dry it thoroughly away from direct heat, label the lot with variety and year, and store it cool, dark, and dry. Test germination before an important planting or distribution season.

Common problems

Common concerns: Damping-off, aphids, slugs, caterpillars, leaf spots, root rots, and stress-related bolting or poor establishment. Management: Start with clean seed and mix, match temperature to the crop, avoid overwatering, provide airflow, scout regularly, and rotate families. Diagnosis note: Similar symptoms can have different causes. Compare plants of the same age, record weather and irrigation, and use local Extension or diagnostic support before applying a control.

I only got 20 percent to seed out. Huge failure

Hi Marlyne, we’re sorry to hear that. Onion seeds can be more sensitive during germination than some other varieties, and success is often influenced by temperature, moisture balance, and sowing depth. This seed passed our germination testing prior to sale and is covered by our warranty. Since many seeds are started during the winter months, cooler conditions and lower light can also affect results. Please contact us so we can help troubleshoot and assist under our warranty.

Did not germinate

Hey there! We are sorry that you are having germination issues. Can we ask if it was just one or multiple varieties that you received there were having this issue? Also, how did you go about germinating those seeds?
