Seed Count

Appearance: Slender green leaves atop distinctive red stems that can grow up to 12 inches tall on plants reaching 24 inches, with cooler weather deepening the color.

Flavor: Mild, sweet, and less pungent than bulb onions, with a crisp texture.

Type: A bunching onion (Allium fistulosum), often grown like a spring onion or scallion.

Origin: An Asian heirloom, popular with home gardeners. 

Planting: Best planted in late summer/fall for rich red color, but can be grown most of the year.

Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil.

Blanching: Mounding soil around the stems creates longer white parts; leaving it exposed deepens the red.

Harvest: Can be harvested young as tender scallions or allowed to mature, cutting and regrowing for multiple harvests. 

Adds color and mild onion flavor to dishes.

Ideal for Asian cuisine (stir-fries, sukiyaki), salads, soups, and as a garnish.

ONIONS

When planting onions in your garden, make sure you situate them in full sun. Onions are shallow rooted and grow best with steady watering, especially during the bulbing phase. Adequate air circulation helps reduce the risk of foliage disease. Keep an eye out for onion maggot, whose hatched larvae crawl into the bulb and feed on the roots, stem, and developing bulb which will destroy your crop. With their unique flavors--some strong and overpowering, some mild and sweet--onions can be added to nearly any dish and can be cooked every way, as well as eaten raw.

COMMON PESTS: Thrips, Leaf Miners, Onion Maggot

SUSCEPTIBLE TO: Damping Off, Black Mold, Fusarium Wilt, Downy Mildew, Rot, Smut, White Rot
