This versatile onion grows well in a range of climates and can be planted year-round, offering gardeners a reliable option for consistent onion production. With a mild, savoury flavour, Hojem onions are perfect for both raw and cooked dishes, adding a subtle onion taste to any meal.

Why Grow Onion Hojem?

  • 🧅 Round, Light Brown Bulbs: Hojem onions are known for their attractive, round shape and light brown skin, making them a great choice for both fresh market and home gardens.

  • 🌱 Intermediate-Day Variety: This variety requires an intermediate amount of daylight to form bulbs, making it suitable for a wide range of regions.

  • 🍲 Mild, Versatile Flavour: The mild taste of Hojem onions works beautifully in a variety of dishes, whether raw in salads or cooked in soups, stews, and stir-fries.

Optimal Growing Conditions:

  • Sowing Time: Suitable for year-round sowing, making it a flexible option for different climates and planting schedules.

  • Sow Depth: Plant seeds at a depth of 3 mm to ensure proper germination.

  • Spacing: Space plants 5 cm apart with rows 20 cm apart to give them room to develop fully and allow for easy maintenance.

  • Germination: Seeds will typically germinate within 7-14 days in temperatures ranging from 15-25°C.

Garden Uses and Culinary Ideas:

  • Raw in Salads: The mild flavour of Hojem onions makes them ideal for adding a subtle onion bite to fresh salads.

  • Cooking in Dishes: Perfect for sautéing, roasting, or adding to soups and stews, where they contribute a sweet, savoury flavour.

  • Pickling: Use Hojem onions for pickling to create tangy, flavourful accompaniments to sandwiches, tacos, or grilled meats.

Care Tips:

  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but be sure it is well-drained to prevent waterlogging. Onions prefer even moisture for proper growth.

  • Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy bulb development. Avoid too much nitrogen, which can result in excessive leaf growth rather than bulb formation.

  • Harvesting: Harvest onions when the tops start to fall over and the bulbs reach their full size, typically between 180-240 days after sowing.

Onion Hojem is a reliable, versatile variety that offers a mild, sweet flavour and attractive round bulbs. Perfect for both raw and cooked dishes, Hojem onions are easy to grow and offer consistent yields, making them a must-have for any gardener or home cook.
