Harvest
Roughly 8–12 weeks after planting

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 flavour 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.
