🍴 Flavour Notes

Bright, fresh onion flavour with a clean finish.
Not aggressive. Not bitter. Just… perfect.

Tastes like:
✅ Sweet scallion
✅ Tiny garlic whisper
✅ Clean vegetal crunch

Use it everywhere:

  • Ramen, donburi, yakisoba

  • Crudos, tartare, oyster platters

  • Eggs, roasted potatoes, stir-fries

  • Grilled whole with miso-butter

  • Finely sliced on top of EVERYTHING

If garnish had a “chef’s secret stash,” this is it.


👨🌾 Growing Notes

  • Direct sow or transplant — both work

  • Sow thick for slender stalks, thin for chubbier stems

  • Keep soil moist for best sweetness + colour

  • Does well in beds, raised planters, even 6” pots

  • Harvest outer stalks and let inner shoots keep growing

Pro tip: Hill soil around stalks mid-season for longer white shafts (like leeks but easy).

Succession plant every 2–3 weeks if you want a never-ending scallion empire.


🌟 Highlights

  • Stunning red + green colour contrast

  • Mild, sweet scallion flavour

  • Fast-growing + extremely productive

  • Cut-and-come-again habit

  • Ideal for gourmet gardens & kitchen gardens

This onion makes regular scallions feel like dial-up internet.
