Description

Colourful onions with a strong flavour.
Can be harvested as mature salad onions.
Suitable for pots and containers.

A dual purpose reliable spring onion with rich-green leaves and an intense flavour perfect in salads and sandwiches. Exhibits glossy red bulbs that are attractive both in the garden and on the plate.

When it comes to thinning seedlings out, use the thinnings as salad onions, young, fresh and with a bite to add to late spring salads.

Leave the remaining onions to bulk up into fully-grown bulbs to enjoy in late summer to autumn.

Please note - These seeds should ideally be sown this season. All our packets have ‘Sow by Date’ guidance on them, this is the date the seeds should be sown in order to achieve the highest rate of germination. You will still see the same high-quality plants if sowing in seasons after the ‘Sow by Date’ but may see a reduction in germination rate

How to Guide

Sow outdoors

March-August: Sow thinly, 1⁄2in (1cm) deep and in rows 8in (20cm) apart directly into harvest location. Keep soil moist at all times.

Tips

No need to thin, just pull when onions are young and slender. Sow little and often for continuous supply throughout the summer. Spring onions perform well in containers and are quick to crop. September sowings can be overwintered with a little protection.
