Mr Fothergill's Salad Seeds Onion (Spring) Eiffel - 500 Seeds

Long, winter hardy, spring onion. 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'.

Useful Information: Vitamin C; Suitable for contained gardens

Sow & Grow:

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-September, where they are to crop, 1.5 cm (1/2-inch) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-dug, fertile soil, which has already been watered.

Allow 15 cm (6-inch) 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.
