What does a FLOWER STALK on your ONION mean?
The wild weather this winter and early spring means that most of my onions formed flower stalks or are “bolting” this year.
When onions bolt, the bulb part of the onion stops growing and will not mature further. The energy that would make the onion bulb is now directed toward making the flower stalk.
Onions bolt prematurely in response to stress. Stress can happen in several ways; too hot, too cold, not enough water, or too much water. Temperature fluctuations can cause onions to bolt as well.
Here’s what to do:
• Harvest and use right away or preserve by dehydrating, freezing, or freeze drying. The onions won’t store well.
• Cut off the flower on top, or cut the entire bolting stem, so the onion stops producing seeds. (This won’t restart bulb growth.)
• You can leave the onion in the ground for a few weeks. The onion won’t continue bulbing or get any larger, but it will “keep” in the ground and can be used later.
• Leave a couple of bolting onions to flower until they produce seeds. Save the seeds to plant next season.
Are any of your onions bolting this year?
