Fothergill's Spring Onion White Lisbon Winter Hardy Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Allium cepa, a specialized, frost-resistant strain of the definitive White Lisbon salad onion.
• Exceptional Winter Hardiness: Specially engineered to overwinter in the ground, making it the perfect choice for harsher climates and challenging winter weather.
• Mild and Zesty Flavour: Delivers a beautifully crisp texture and a sweet, mildly zesty onion flavour that brings a fresh bite to salads, stir-fries, and gourmet garnishes.
• Extended Harvest Season: Fills the notorious early-spring 'hungry gap' by providing fresh, crunchy produce long before standard spring-sown crops are ready to pull.
• Classic Slender Profile: Produces uniform, straight white shafts that transition into strong, upright green tops with minimal care or maintenance required.
• Beginner-Friendly Salad Crop: Incredibly easy to grow and highly reliable, making it an excellent, low-fuss option for gardeners of all experience levels.

Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds outdoors in shallow drills 1.5cm deep into finely prepared, well-drained soil during late summer or autumn.
• Space rows approximately 15cm apart to allow for easy weeding and to give the overwintering crops ample room to establish.
• Keep the soil moist during the initial autumn growth period; once winter sets in, the plants require minimal care until they are ready for early spring pulling.
