The Shugoku onion variety is a perennial plant with oval bulbs weighing from 20 to 40 grams and yellow color with a light lavender tint. The plant reaches a height of 35-45 cm, forms 5-7 daughter bulbs, and produces aromatic greenery that can be harvested every 25-30 days. Bulbs are harvested in the second or third year after sowing. This variety is non-GMO and shows good adaptability to various climatic conditions.
When selecting seed material for growing Shugoku onions, pay attention to the quality of the seed: bulbs should be dense, with dry outer scales, without damage or signs of rot. The optimal bulb size for planting is 8 to 14 mm, which is especially suitable for winter planting, although small bulbs may lag in development during spring sowing. Proper care, including regular watering, soil loosening, and fertilization, promotes a bountiful harvest and prevents bolting.
The Shugoku variety is resistant to adverse conditions, including frost, and is suitable for home gardening. Its bulbs and greens are widely used in cooking: they are suitable for frying, stewing, pickling, and eating fresh. Thanks to its strong immunity and long storage period, this onion is a reliable choice for gardeners seeking a high-quality and tasty product.
