Description

An outstanding white spring onion variety that does not bulb, but forms long white stalks perfect for salads and stir-fries. It is perennial and very cold hardy, with excellent disease resistance.

Care Tips

Grows best in an open, sunny site with good drainage. Do not plant or sow on freshly manured bed and avoid planting where a previous crop from the onion family was recently grown to avoid the build up of pests and diseases.
