Apache Red Bunching Onion, Heirloom Seeds

Apache Red Bunching Onion — The Vibrant Red-Purple Scallion That Peels Easily and Harvests Two Ways

Apache is a striking scallion developed to satisfy market demand for a vibrant red salad onion that is as beautiful as it is practical. Known for its rich red and purple colors, Apache produces a beautifully elongated pearl shape that peels easily while retaining its vivid hue. The flavor is mild and clean — perfect for salads, sandwiches, and fresh eating — and the lush green tops add dramatic visual appeal to any dish. Harvest early as a purple bunching crop (scallion), or wait for a bulb to begin forming for a beautiful spring onion. Apache can also be overwintered for an early spring harvest. 65 days.

Full sun. Keep soil consistently moist. Harvest scallions when tops are 6–8 inches tall, or allow to develop a small bulb for spring onion use. For overwintering, sow in late summer and mulch lightly before frost.
