Details:

• Botanical Name: Allium cepa, a premium and dependable salad crop belonging to the productive Allium genus.
• Erect Foliage Habit: Bred with highly upright, rigid green leaves that resist flopping, keeping the crop tidy, clean, and less susceptible to soil-borne issues.
• Well-Balanced Stems: Produces uniform, straight white shafts that transition smoothly into succulent green tops, offering a crisp texture from end to end.
• Mild and Sweet Flavour: Delivers a beautifully balanced, non-pungent taste that is perfect for raw eating, summer salads, dips, and delicate stir-fries.
• Superb Winter Hardiness: Engineered with exceptional frost resilience, making it one of the absolute best varieties to sow in autumn and leave standing over winter for early spring pulling.
• High Yielding & Compact: Grows with a tight, space-saving vertical habit that maximizes productivity in traditional allotment rows, raised beds, or deep patio containers.

Care Instructions:

• For a steady summer and autumn crop, sow seeds directly outdoors in shallow drills 1.5cm deep from early spring to mid-summer.
• For an early spring harvest the following year, sow seeds thinly outdoors during late summer or early autumn, allowing the plants to overwinter.
• Space rows approximately 15cm apart and water consistently during dry, hot weather to maintain rapid, tender growth and preserve the mild flavor.
