Growing Instructions
-
Planting: Plant plugs as a bunch, 25cm apart—do not separate the plants to protect the roots; they’ll naturally push out.
-
Location: Choose a sheltered, sunny spot with well-drained soil.
-
Watering: Keep well watered until established and during dry weather.
-
Hardiness: Fairly hardy and suitable for overwintering, making them great for filling small garden gaps.
Top Tips
-
Harvest spring onions when the stems are about pencil-thick for the best flavor and crunch.
-
Regular watering helps keep stems tender and juicy—avoid letting soil dry out.
-
Plant every few weeks for a continuous supply of fresh spring onions.
-
Protect young plants from pests like onion fly with fine mesh or organic sprays.
