Description

Suitable for Containers

Long, winter hardy

This British-bred variety has upright green leaves and long white shafts which have a strong resistance to bulbing.

It can be harvested throughout the summer and sown in autumn for a springtime crop of ‘spring onions’.

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-September, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½”) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-dug, fertile soil, which has already been watered. Allow 15cm (6″) between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. No thinning is required, but keep well watered in dry spells. Regular sowings, made every three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply through the summer.

Harvest: March-October. August to September sowings will be ready the following spring
