Description

Our premium wild onion seeds go through strict manual screening to filter out shrivelled, broken, mould‑damaged and non‑viable grains. This native perennial wild‑onion, also known as nodding onion, belongs to the allium family.
Slender green grass‑shaped leaves carry soft mild onion‑garlic flavour for kitchen seasoning. In summer, it grows drooping clusters of delicate pink‑purple round flower heads that attract pollinating insects. The whole plant including leaves, tender shoots and tiny underground bulbs is edible. This tough wild herb adapts to balcony pots, herb borders, wild‑flower yards, rocky ground and large‑scale native‑plant farm growing.

Planting Guide

  1. Best Sowing Season
    Direct‑sow seeds in late autumn for natural cold‑stratification; indoor sowing can start in early‑spring after refrigerator cold‑treatment. Optimal germination temperature ranges 12℃‑20℃.
  2. Seed Pre‑treatment
    Soak seeds in room‑temperature clean water for 12 hours, discard floating bad‑quality grains. Place damp seeds inside refrigerator for 60‑day cold stratification to break natural seed dormancy.
  3. Planting Soil
    Prepare loose, fast‑draining sandy‑loam or ordinary garden soil. Slightly‑alkaline growing medium delivers better plant growth; never use water‑stagnant wet ground.
  4. Sowing Method
    Bury seeds 0.5‑0.8 cm deep. Thin seedlings and reserve 8‑12‑centimetre spacing between mature wild‑onion plants.
  5. Germination Cycle
    Keep planting medium slightly moist. After cold‑stratification pretreatment, viable seeds germinate within 14‑21 days. Some dormant seeds may take longer to sprout.
  6. Daily Care and Harvest
    Grow under full sunlight or light partial shade. Water regularly in the seedling phase and cut watering after plants get mature. Harvest tender green leaves any time during the growing period.

Seed Storage Instruction

Store leftover wild‑onion seeds inside cool, dry, shaded and well‑ventilated storage spots. Keep seeds away from high‑heat surroundings, humid air and direct strong sunlight to preserve seed‑sprouting vitality.
