Scallions Vegetable Seeds Packet
Scallions, also known as green onions, bunching onions, or spring onions, belong to the Allium family alongside garlic, onions, and leeks. They are cultivated primarily for their mild-flavored leaves and tender white stalks, which are used in numerous culinary dishes worldwide. Unlike bulb onions, scallions do not form a large bulb, making them a versatile and quick-growing crop. Scallions are a fast-growing, versatile vegetable that is easy to cultivate. With proper soil preparation, consistent watering, and regular harvesting, home gardeners can enjoy a continuous supply of fresh green onions. Whether used raw or cooked, scallions remain a staple in culinary gardens and provide both flavor and nutrition to a variety of dishes.

Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.
Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
