Description

Allium cepa (Spring Onion) Apache (1,000 seeds) – Versatile red spring and pearl onion.

Allium cepa 'Apache' is a versatile and striking red spring onion suitable for early harvest as young scallions, as well as for growing into pearl onions or small eating onions. This special variety combines an attractive red color with a fresh, mild flavor and offers flexibility in the vegetable garden. With 1,000 seeds, this variety is ideal for both hobby gardeners and professional growers who want to vary their harvest time and use.

Versatile red spring onion

The Apache is a unique spring onion with a beautiful red color that immediately stands out in the vegetable garden and on the plate. This onion can be grown and harvested in various ways. If you sow closer together, you will harvest a fresh spring onion with foliage after just 6 to 8 weeks. If you let the plants continue to grow, small red onions will develop, ideal as pearl onions or mini eating onions.

The mild and fresh taste makes this onion particularly suitable for raw consumption, while the red hue makes dishes visually more appealing. Both the leaves and the bulb are edible, making this variety extra versatile.

Flexible harvesting options

One of the biggest advantages of Allium cepa 'Apache' is the flexibility in harvesting. Depending on your cultivation goal, you can choose:

  • Spring onion (scallion): harvest after 6–8 weeks for a fresh, young onion with foliage
  • Pearl onion or small eating onion: let the plants continue to grow and thin them out to a distance of approximately 5 cm

The harvest period runs from early June through October, depending on when to sow. This allows you to enjoy fresh onions from your own garden for a long period.

Easy cultivation and fast growth

The Apache is easy to cultivate and grows quickly, making it highly suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners. You can sow directly in open ground from early March to late June. Sow thinly in rows and keep the desired end result in mind.

If you want to harvest spring onions, sow them slightly closer together. For larger onions, it is important to thin the plants later to a spacing of about 5 cm. This approach ensures that the onions have sufficient space to develop properly.

A sunny location and well-draining soil contribute to optimal growth. Watering regularly, especially during dry periods, helps to improve the taste and texture of the onions.

Taste and use in the kitchen

The Allium cepa 'Apache' is known for its mild, fresh taste. This makes it perfect for a wide range of applications in the kitchen. The spring onion can be used in its entirety: from the fresh leaves to the small bulb.

Ideal for:

  • Salads and cold dishes
  • Garnish for soups and Asian dishes
  • Stir-fries
  • Tapas and small bites

The red color gives every dish an extra visual dimension and makes this onion particularly popular among lovers of culinary presentation.
