🌱 Grow Ramrod Scallions – High-Performance, Bold Flavor & Perfect for Successive Harvests! 🌱
Ramrod Scallion Seeds produce sturdy, white-bulbing scallions with erect green leaves and excellent flavor. This high-performing variety is bred for English gardens but thrives on the coast and is well-suited for overwintering. Sow successively from spring to fall for a continuous harvest of gourmet scallions. Ramrod scallions are cold-hardy and can be harvested early in spring when planted in September.
To increase the blanched white portion, sow seeds into shallow trenches and hill soil up around the growing stems. Whether in garden beds or raised containers, these scallions are reliable, delicious, and easy to grow.
