The Queen of all spring onions, this one is versatile and delicious. The brilliant crimson bulbs can be left to mature and used like a shallot, or if eaten young, the entire plant can be sliced and used to garnish stir-fries, salads and your own version of nasi goreng. The brilliant crimson bulbs are also rich in antioxidants. Spring onions are undeniably the most versatile onion in the garden, and a must for the home chef.

Amelia X. ★★★★★

The bulbs are already showing that brilliant crimson color after just a few weeks in the ground. I tried slicing one young into a salad and the flavor was noticeably milder than regular green onions.

Julian X. ★★★★★

I planted these in a small container on my balcony, and the crimson bulbs are already showing through the soil after just a few weeks. I’ve been snipping the young greens for salads, and the flavor is mild and fresh—exactly what I wanted. The versatility to use them as shallots later is a huge bonus

Sebastian ★★★★☆

Planted these about six weeks ago and the crimson bulbs are exactly as pictured, though I’ve been pulling them young to slice into salads. The whole plant is usable, which makes thinning less wasteful. Would’ve liked a few more seeds in the packet, but germination was solid.
