He Shi Ko Bunching Onion

Pot, HSKO $3.20 Out of stock

This is an heirloom Japanese perennial that grows stalks that divide from the base. It is non- bulbing green onion and white at the base. It can be harvested at any stage, from small size to maturity. The flavor is deliciously mild and used in soups, salads, and stir-fries. Longer white stems can be achieved by mounding earth up over the stems to blanch them. They can survive winter temperatures as low as -30 F. It sets seeds and be repopulated easily this way.

Our pots are multi-seeded which can be divided or planted as is. The idea of this strain is to use it as a perennial both from seed and split for roots. It is a 'persistent' bunching onion.
