Onion Bunching Red Beard Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perAllium fistulosum
Red Beard is a striking bunching onion producing long, slender green leaves and distinctive deep red to purple lower stems. The colourful shafts develop their richest pigmentation in cooler conditions, creating an attractive contrast against the fresh green foliage.
Also known as a Welsh or Japanese bunching onion, Red Beard forms clusters of tender, non-bulbing stems that can be harvested individually or as whole bunches. The flavour is mild and pleasantly onion-like, making it excellent for salads, stir-fries, soups, garnishes and Asian cooking. Both the colourful stems and hollow green leaves are edible.
Bunching onions have a long history of cultivation in East Asia, where they remain an essential kitchen vegetable. Red Beard is a productive, quick-growing variety that can be harvested repeatedly, with established plants producing new shoots from the base.
Approximately 100 seeds per packet.

Planting / Sowing
