Start shallots and storage onions indoors in late winter and early spring, and transplant 2-4 weeks after the last frost date. Overwintering onions need to be started in early summer, and transplanted by the middle of August. Scallions can be direct sown every 3 weeks from two weeks after the last frost date to late summer. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 21-25C (70-75F). Seeds will emerge in 6-12 days, depending on conditions.

Transplants are preferred for home gardeners. Sow 3 seeds 5mm-1cm (-) deep in each cell of a 72-cell tray. Transplant as a clump, spacing each 15cm (6) apart in rows 45-75cm (18-30) apart. Scallions can be spaced at 2-5cm (1-2) apart in rows 15cm (6) apart.
