Onion "Japanese Red Beard" Heirloom Seeds

The Japanese Red Beard onion is a striking heirloom variety known for its vibrant red stems and bunching growth habit. Originating from Japan, it thrives in a range of soil types, especially well-drained soil with balanced nutrients. To encourage healthy growth, ensure the soil has adequate potassium by adding wood ash or potash before planting, and maintain a pH around 6.5. This onion prefers full sun or partial shade and grows well following leafy greens like lettuce or cabbage. Sow seeds directly in your garden, and instead of harvesting the whole plant, trim the stalks to allow continuous regrowth and multiple harvests. Easy to cultivate and rewarding, it’s a valuable addition to any vegetable patch.
