We're really excited to be offering this exclusive green onion breeding mix from our friend Dylan Bruce, co-founder of Driftless Seed Supply. These seeds are a mix of equal parts seed from three different scallion varieties — 'Evergreen Hardy', 'Tokyo Long', and 'Parade' — grown in roughly equal proportions, right next to each other, and allowed to cross-pollinate. The results are sure to be diverse and productive, and as valuable for general use as for breeding purposes. Looking to breed the most cold-hardy scallions possible? Or for scallions that can resist the dreaded onion thrip? There's no better place to start than here! (Though you also might consider adding our other Allium fistulosum varieties to the mix, like Welsh onion and the ever-popular 'Flagpole' scallion!)

GROWING TIPS: Start scallion seeds in flats as early as two months before last frost, so they're ready to put in the ground as soon as the soil begins to warm up. Once well-established, they will be cold-hardy and resilient.
