Scallion White Flower (Allium fistulosum)
General Description
Allium fistulosum, commonly known as Scallion White Flower, Welsh Onion, or Bunching Onion, is a hardy, non-bulbing onion species cultivated for its edible green stems and mild flavor. Native to Asia, this perennial herb has been a staple in culinary traditions for centuries, prized for its continuous growth and ability to thrive in various climates. Its delicate white flowers not only enhance gardens but also attract beneficial pollinators, making it an excellent addition to sustainable landscapes.
Plant Characteristics
Scallion White Flower grows in dense clumps, reaching a height of 30 to 80 cm. The plant produces long, hollow, tube-like green leaves that have a mild onion flavor. In late spring to early summer, tall flower stalks emerge, topped with spherical clusters of small, star-shaped white flowers. These blossoms are nectar-rich and highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. The plant is highly adaptable, growing well in both garden beds and containers.
Taste and Benefits
The green stalks of Allium fistulosum have a fresh, mildly sweet onion flavor, making them a versatile ingredient in many dishes. They can be used fresh in salads, soups, stir-fries, and garnishes, providing a delicate onion aroma without the pungency of traditional onions. Rich in vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants and essential minerals, Scallion White Flower supports immune function and digestion while adding flavor to meals.
Cultivation Recommendations
Scallion White Flower thrives in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with full sun to partial shade. Seeds should be sown in early spring or autumn, lightly covered with soil, and kept moist until germination, which typically occurs within 10 to 20 days. Once established, the plant is drought-resistant and requires minimal care. Regular harvesting encourages continuous regrowth, and dividing clumps every few years helps maintain plant health and productivity.
Uses and Benefits
Allium fistulosum is widely used in culinary applications, particularly in Asian and Mediterranean cuisines. It is a key ingredient in soups, dumplings, and stir-fried dishes. Beyond its edible qualities, this plant serves as a natural pest deterrent in companion planting, protecting nearby vegetables from harmful insects. Its ornamental white flowers also make it a visually appealing addition to garden landscapes and floral arrangements.
Packaging
The seeds are carefully selected and packed in moisture-resistant packaging to ensure high germination rates and long-term viability.
Shipping Information
Orders are processed within 1–2 days and shipped worldwide, including across India. Delivery typically takes 1–2 weeks, depending on the destination.
