Red Bunching Onion
A coloured variant of the more common white bunching onion, the red bunching onion also grows in clumps without forming a true bulb, with reddish stalk bases that are particularly decorative in the kitchen.
The Red Bunching Onion Plant
Allium fistulosum in its red cultivar belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family. It is a perennial plant, grown as an annual or biennial, forming hollow clumps with red-violet stalk bases fading to green further up.
How to Sow Red Bunching Onion
Sowing takes place between May and September depending on the climate zone, followed by transplanting and staggered harvesting according to kitchen needs.
How to Grow Red Bunching Onion
As hardy as the white variant, it adapts well to different soils provided they are well-drained; clump yield stays steady even with minimal cultivation care.
Tips for Red Bunching Onion
It is harvested in stages as the clumps reach the desired size, either cutting the whole plant or taking just a few stalks and letting the rest regrow.
Diseases and Pests of Red Bunching Onion
It is generally resistant to the main onion diseases, but can be subject to downy mildew in excessively humid conditions; watch for onion fly.
Uses and Curiosities of Red Bunching Onion
Thanks to its vivid colour, it is particularly prized as a fresh garnish for Asian dishes and salads, with a slightly stronger flavour than the white variant.
Properties of Red Bunching Onion
Alongside the organic sulphur compounds and vitamin C typical of the genus, the red colouring adds an extra content of antioxidant anthocyanins.
