The «Chelyabinsk» onion variety is a perennial unpretentious plant with high frost hardiness, capable of withstanding temperatures down to -40 degrees. This variety is distinguished by the early appearance of greens, significantly outpacing traditional green onions in timing. Thanks to the ability to vegetative reproduction by aerial bulbs, which form on flowering stems, «Chelyabinsk» can yield up to two shoots harvests per season. The onion leaf is tender, juicy, and has a slightly sharp taste, making it especially attractive for use in fresh form. The plant does not accumulate nitrates and begins to grow immediately after planting, without entering a state of dormancy, which allows growing it in one place for up to 15 years.
The «Chelyabinsk Pink» variety, developed in 2011, is characterized by universal purpose and high yield. Bulbs have an elliptical shape, mass from 25 to 80 grams, and are colored dark brown with a pinkish tint, while juicy scales are white with purple. The onion taste is semi-sharp, and the texture is dense, making it suitable for various culinary purposes. Maturation periods are mid-season, and high transportability and ability to store well until the new harvest make this variety popular among gardeners.
Moreover, «Chelyabinsk» is famous for its table qualities: bulbs are dense, with a soft and tender taste, ideal for preparing first and second courses, as well as salads. Leaves are thin and tasty, allowing their use for early cutting. Thanks to its characteristics, this variety is an excellent choice for growing in various climatic conditions, ensuring a stable and quality harvest.
