This, for example, is fragrant onion ( chinese garlic), growing from seeds of which is just beginning to gain popularity in Russia. Let's find out what this plant is, what varieties are recommended for home gardening, and how to grow them from seeds.
Indians, Chinese and other Asian peoples have been growing fragrant onions for a long time. Today it appears more and more often in Russian garden beds.
- The onion is nicknamed fragrant due to the delicate smell of the inflorescences: not a single flower of other onion plants smells like this.
- It grows tender, juicy dark green foliage that does not become coarse throughout the season, which is covered with a waxy coating.

Unlike the usual trumpet, Chinese garlic contains many more useful components.
- Chinese garlic blooms, different long flowering, V next year. Peduncles are located on a half-meter, often lignified powerful arrow. Fragrant onions bloom with white flowers with lilac stripes, which have a very pleasant smell.
Plants do not have full-fledged onions, only small false ones, overgrown with roots that can grow 70 centimeters deep into the soil.
To plant fragrant onions, just choose suitable varieties. From the varieties that are distinguished by the growth of rich green mass, we choose the following:

We will learn how to properly grow Chinese garlic, for example, the fragrant Piquant onion, which can be grown from seeds in open ground.
Chinese garlic is grown not only as a vegetable, but also as a ornamental plant, capable of decorating any flowerbed. The released half-meter arrow blooms with an umbrella of fragrant white flowers.
Such an onion carries frosty winters with temperatures up to 45°C, and therefore is grown even in the north of the country.
Preparing the site for sowing
So that fragrant onions delight you with tenderness healthy greens And beautiful flowering, we provide him with a suitable “place of residence”:
- Choose a sunny area with moderately moist, loose soil. If the soil is acidic, add limestone. It is good to grow Chinese garlic near berry bush: aphids and other pests will not grow on them.
- In the fall, we dig up the soil, fertilizing it with the following mixture: wood ash(1 cup), superphosphate (1.5 tbsp.), potash fertilizer(1 tbsp) and a bucket of compost (humus). All this is calculated for 1 m² of land.
In the spring, we harrow the soil by adding ammonium nitrate - 1 teaspoon per square meter.
Sowing Chinese garlic seeds
Since the seeds of fragrant onions can germinate at 2-3 degrees of heat, and the leaves tolerate seven-degree frosts, we sow the seeds in the ground or for seedlings in early spring.
- Into the ground. We make furrows 2 cm deep, moisten and sow the seeds.
- For seedlings. Sow seeds in boxes with fertile soil. When 2 normal leaves appear, thin out the onion. We plant seedlings in open ground when she is 2 months old.
If you want to get onion greens next spring, sow onions for seedlings in the summer and plant them in the beds in early September.
In the first year of life, the onion forms a couple of sprouts with 3-4 feathers, in the next year - up to 8. Every year the foliage only grows.
How to care for fragrant onions
Like other onion plants, Chinese garlic needs weeding, loosening, regular watering and fertilizing.
- Loosening onions. When loosening the rows and the space between the plants, we do not fill the onions with soil, but, on the contrary, clear them of soil, pushing it into the rows.
- Watering the onions. If the soil is not sufficiently moistened and the onion is often forced to endure drought, its foliage will become rough and unpleasant to eat. To keep it juicy and tender, do not forget to water the plants regularly.
- Feeding. With the emergence of seedlings, we scatter a teaspoon of urea per square meter over the ridge, pour it with warm water and spray it with Epin Extra solution, dissolving an ampoule of the product in five liters of water. After half a month, we improve the photosynthesis of onions with Ferovit by dissolving an ampoule of the product in one and a half liters of water and sprinkling the crops.
In the second year of life we begin to use onion feathers in food purposes, making three to four cuttings per season, when the foliage grows to 25 cm. After cutting, fertilize the onion with nitrophoska, dissolving 2 tablespoons in a bucket of water.
We cut the greens for the last time in mid-August so that the onions have time to gain strength for the winter. Late autumn cut off the greens completely.
Now you know that allspice (Chinese garlic), which can be grown from seeds in any region of Russia, produces a lot of tasty greens during the season. The main thing is not to grow it in one area for more than four years, otherwise it will grow, weaken and produce little green feathers.
