The TAGO variety of onion, also known as Red Toga, is a perennial plant that can be grown year-round. It is distinguished by its remarkable red stem color, which remains from the roots to the base of the leaves. The plant reaches a height of up to 30 cm and is ready for harvesting leaves within 50-60 days after germination. TAGO onion does not form bulbs but has round, hollow leaves, distinguishing it from common onion. In appearance and flavor, it resembles leek and shallot, with a delicate and balanced taste.
This onion variety grows quickly and adapts easily to different climatic conditions, making it a popular choice for cultivation in Asia and other regions. The multi-stemmed plant regularly divides, forming "clumps" of new stems, which are recommended to be transplanted every 3-4 years to maintain the health and productivity of the crop. Leaves can be harvested year-round until the true root is dug up.
TAGO onion is suitable for both annual and perennial cultivation. Its golden-brown, medium-sized bulb has a rich and balanced flavor, making this variety versatile and popular for both fresh consumption and culinary processing.
