I sent you an email :)

HI; I WANT YOUR SEEDS FOR jobs tears and walking onions. PLEASE EMAIL ME AT ...cecilburdeshaw@bellsouth.net. I will reply with my seed list to see if we can trade. THANKS.

Have Pineapple Crush, White Soul, Fragola Di Bosco, Alexandra and Delicious strawberry seeds, (will part with a few plants for the right ones) Black Pearl Pepper seeds(just drying now)Egyption walking onions, and some tropical plants/rhizoms like Dwarf Orinoco banana,canna-Tropicanna, 1 soap aloe, small coffee tree. LOOKING FOR: named daylilies along the line of: God/Angels,Apostles, Egyptian, star/universe themes. Thanks and have a good day.

Probably the best commercial source for bunching onions from seed is Evergreen Seeds , they carry 9 varieties. My experience has been that the larger-stalked varieties (such as "Fuyuyo") tend to be less winter hardy, and multiply more slowly. The larger ones can reach close to 1" in diameter, and are best suited for milder climates... but while they can be grown as perennials, I note that quality deteriorates after the first year, unless they are moved or you let them reseed in place. Those with smaller stalks (such as "4 Seasons") are more winter hardy, and multiply quickly. In a 9-variety trial several years ago, 4 Seasons split at least 10-1 the following year, and quickly formed clumps. There are quite a few heirlooms (some topsetting/walking onions, some bunching) that will also multiply quickly. The bunching onions "Franz" and "Stevenson" have 1/2" stalks, are very winter hardy, and multiply quickly to form clumps... the best combinations of size, multiplication, and hardiness that I have seen. I will have seed for one of them in late summer... but the record was lost, so I don't know which of the two I'm still growing. :-( "Egyptian" and "Catawissa" are the standards for walking onions, exceptionally hardy, and forming large scallions in Spring & again in late Fall. You can't go wrong with those, they thrive on neglect, and a clump will last for years without care... and even spread, if you don't remove the top set bulbils. The top sets are occasionally offered commercially in the Fall, but the best source is another gardener, since both onions are widely grown. "Grandpa Achors" (a small topset onion) multiplies nearly as fast as chives (and is just larger), quickly forms large clumps, and will form small white onions if divided. "McCullar's" (another white topset) is larger (close to the size of supermarket scallions), multiplies 4-5 times from the base, and will form nice 1" white onions if divided & given space. Both are very winter hardy, and form topset bulbils in late summer.
