Thompson & Morgan Vegetable Seeds - Spring Onion Ishikura - All Year Harvest

Thompson & Morgan

Discover the enduring flavour and convenience of Thompson & Morgan's Bunching Onion 'Ishikura' seeds, a distinguished member of the Kew Vegetable Seed Collection. This hardy perennial variety (Allium fistulosum) is chosen for its resilience and long-lasting productivity, offering a continuous supply of fresh, mild-flavoured stems. How to Grow: - Sow seeds directly into well-drained soil in spring, or start them indoors in modules. - Ensure the soil is not freshly manured; it prefers average garden soil. - Thin seedlings to the correct spacing to allow for optimal growth. - Water regularly, especially during dry periods. - This non-bulbing variety produces pencil-thin spring onions or mini-leek style stems and can remain productive for years. - It is more cold-tolerant than Welsh onions and can provide harvests even in cooler months with protection. - Allow some plants to flower to attract beneficial pollinators and enhance garden biodiversity. - Divide established clumps every few years to maintain plant vigour and extend your harvest. Enjoy the fresh taste of 'Ishikura' onions, perfect for adding flavour to your culinary creations. While they are best enjoyed fresh and do not store for extended periods, their regular harvesting potential makes them a rewarding addition to any vegetable garden.
