Parade
Aromatic and tender from the first harvest, Parade bunching onions form crisp, hollow green stalks with a clean, mild bite and a bright, grassy sweetness. Their fine texture stays pleasantly snappy—never tough—making them a delight for fresh use, quick sautéing, and vibrant garnishes, while their gentle flavor also shines in sauces and pickled preparations. Grow Parade for a steady, harvest-ready clump that keeps rewarding you through the warm season.
