Heshiko Bunching Onion – Japanese Heirloom Scallion (Allium fistulosum)

Heshiko is a prized Japanese heirloom bunching onion — a non-bulbing, perennial scallion type that produces long, tender green leaves and 12–14" white, pungent stalks with a rich, savory onion flavor. Unlike most scallions, Heshiko divides at its base, creating clusters of new shoots and making it an exceptionally productive, long-lived plant for any garden or container. It overwinters reliably and is both cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant once established.

No Japanese kitchen garden is complete without Heshiko bunching onions. Use the leaves and stalks in soups (miso, ramen), stir-fries, salads, garnishes, and anywhere a fresh, bright allium note is needed.

Growing Instructions

  • Sow seeds in late spring (after last frost, soil above 50°F) or in fall in a sunny, well-drained location.
  • Sow ¼" deep; thin to 3–4" apart for bunching production.
  • Suitable for garden plots, raised beds, containers, and greenhouses.
  • For longer white stalks: mound soil up over the stems as they grow to blanch and extend the white portion.
  • Keep soil moist and fertilize regularly for lush growth.

Harvesting

  • Harvest at any stage — from young microgreens to full maturity at 60–80 days.
  • Cut leaves and stalks as needed; the plant regrows from the base and divides to produce more shoots over time.
  • This perennial variety can be harvested for multiple seasons.
