Spring onion - White Lisbon
Allium cepa
About
The classic spring onion. Long white stems with bright green tops, suitable for both spring/summer cultivation as well as over-wintering. This is traditionally the most popular variety of spring onion, and an essential addition to the veg patch. Quick, hardy and easy to grow. Its speed of growth makes it ideal for catch-cropping and year-round cultivation, with its small size meaning it can be easily squeezed into unused corners of the garden. Spring onions are an extremely versatile culinary ingredient. Delicious both cooked and raw, they are a staple of our diet! (Approximate seed count - 300)
