Master onion is a high-yield vegetable with excellent taste and high resistance to diseases such as peronosporosis and stem rot. This variety is versatile, stores well, and is suitable for cultivation in various regions, especially the North Caucasus. Successful cultivation requires proper care, attention to soil conditions, and pest protection.
In addition, Master onion has decorative qualities characteristic of perennial tall alliums. Its glossy strap-like basal leaves reach a length of up to 80 cm, and a powerful hollow flowering scape rises to a height of about 1-1.5 meters. The inflorescence has a spherical shape with a diameter of 20-25 cm and is colored in purple-eggplant. Flowering lasts from late May to early August under favorable climatic conditions.
For growing decorative Master onion, it is recommended to choose well-drained and sunny areas, as lack of light reduces the brightness of the coloring. The plant is drought-tolerant and requires proper care, including fertilization with wood ash. Leaves must die off naturally so the bulb receives the necessary nutrients for successful wintering. The optimal planting time is early spring or early autumn, with a planting depth of 10-15 cm and a distance between bulbs of 20-30 cm.
