Red Welsh Bunching Onion

Grow Hardy, Flavorful Red Welsh Bunching Onion Seeds for Continuous Harvests

Bring a taste of global cuisine to your garden with Red Welsh Bunching Onion seeds. Despite its name, this super-hardy perennial onion originated in northern China or Siberia, making it incredibly resilient. It’s primarily grown for its thick, vibrant green stems and hollow leaves, which deliver a delightfully sharp onion flavor without ever forming a bulb in the garden. This makes it an ideal, continuous harvest crop for any home gardener.

Once established, Red Welsh Bunching Onions are incredibly productive. You can easily expand your patch by replanting the abundant side shoots that emerge. For those desiring a milder flavor and tender texture, these thick stems can be blanched much like leeks by earthing up the soil around them as the plants grow. This crop is easy to grow and provides a consistent supply of fresh, pungent greens. Its robust nature makes it a reliable addition to any vegetable patch or herb garden.
