Tokyo Long White Bunching Onions, scientifically known as Allium cepa, are a popular variety of long-day onions prized for their slender, elongated white stems and mild, sweet flavor. Often referred to by nicknames such as "Japanese bunching onions," "Welsh onions" (though distinct from Allium fistulosum), or simply "Tokyo Whites," these onions are a staple in Asian cuisine and a favorite among home gardeners. Unlike traditional bulb onions, this bunching type doesn’t form a large bulb, instead producing clusters of tender, green-topped stalks that can be harvested continuously. As long-day onions, they thrive in regions with 14-16 hours of daylight, making them well-suited to northern climates during the growing season. Growing Tokyo Long White Bunching Onions from seed is straightforward and rewarding. Start by sowing seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors in early spring when soil temperatures reach at least 50°F (10°C). Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0, spacing them 1-2 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart once they emerge, typically within 7-14 days. These onions prefer full sun and benefit from a light application of balanced fertilizer during growth. Harvest when the stalks reach 10-12 inches tall, usually 60-75 days after sowing, by pulling entire plants or trimming the tops to encourage regrowth, as they are perennial in mild climates.
