Bunching onion - Long White Ishikura - Perennial clumps for lasting harvests - Fresh Seeds

Bunching onion Long White Ishikura is a distinctive perennial variety that suits anyone who enjoys fresh, aromatic vegetables. It is hardy and copes well with difficult weather, so it can stay in the garden for many years without the need for yearly sowing. It does not form a typical bulb, instead producing long white thickened stems and tender, juicy green tops with a clear yet mild onion flavour. This makes it a versatile kitchen favourite for soups, salads, sauces, meat and vegetable dishes, and for garnishing plates with a fresh, spring like finish.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds 1-2 cm deep. This depth supports even germination and strong seedling growth. For the best results, use light, free-draining soil that is rich in nutrients.

When to sow outdoors

Sow from April to August. This timing gives plants good growing conditions and allows you to cut the green tops over a long period. Late summer sowing can also provide harvests in the following season, as the plants overwinter well and regrow quickly in spring.

Spacing

Use spacing of about 40 x 10 cm. This allows plants to spread properly and helps produce thicker, firmer, more aromatic greens. Good spacing also makes weeding easier and helps maintain suitable soil moisture.

Harvest period

Harvest from April to October. The plant regrows after each cut, so you can enjoy fresh greens throughout the season. The best flavour comes from young, light green tops that are tender, juicy, and full of vitamins.

Growing

Long White Ishikura is durable and easy to care for, ideal for a home garden or herb bed. It tolerates cool nights and does not require annual sowing, rewarding you with crops for years once established. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the greens mild and tender. Its frost hardiness makes it a reliable choice for long term growing.
