Apache - Deep Purple “Bunching” Variety (250 seeds est)

A Splash of Colour – The Most Dramatic Spring Onion for the Gourmet Garden.

If you are looking to elevate your salads from ordinary to extraordinary, Spring Onion Apache is the definitive choice. This striking "bunching" variety is celebrated for its brilliant, deep-purple skins that contrast beautifully with its crisp, white flesh and vibrant green tops. Unlike many red-skinned onions that lose their hue when prepped, Apache retains its intense colour, making it a favorite for professional chefs and home cooks who eat with their eyes.

Each pack contains 250 seeds, perfect for adding a gourmet touch to your vegetable patch. Apache is more than just a pretty face; it boasts a crisp, crunchy texture and a mild, sweet flavor that lacks the harsh "onion burn." It is incredibly easy to grow and maintains its elegant, globe-like bulb shape without becoming overly pungent as it matures. Whether sliced raw into a summer slaw or used whole as a garnish for Asian-inspired dishes, Apache is a visual and culinary masterpiece.

Why 'Apache' is a garden essential:

• Stunning Visual Appeal: The intense purple-red skins provide a sophisticated look that stands out in the garden and on the plate.

• Mild & Sweet: A refined flavor profile that is perfect for children or those who prefer a gentler onion taste.

• Non-Bulbing "Bunching" Type: Bred to grow quickly in clusters, ensuring a tender harvest and a high yield in a small footprint.

• Versatile Kitchen Star: Perfect for salads, stir-fries, or even lightly grilled whole as a sophisticated side dish.
