Product description
Spring onions can be eaten raw or cooked and are ideal for adding to salads, wraps, sandwiches, nachos and stir fry dishes. They have a fresh oniony taste that is milder and sweeter than larger onions. Spring onions are a great source of fibre, calcium and vitamins C, A and B6.
Spring onions are easy to grow and don’t take up much space in the garden, making them perfect for filling a gap in the vegetable patch. These plants also work well in pots, containers and window boxes, provided there are plenty of drainage holes. They are tastiest when harvested young and can be lifted from the ground for use as required.
This 8 cell tray is ready to be planted out in beds, borders, pots or containers.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Remove flower stems as they appear to promote larger bulbs that can be stored for longer.
How to Water
Water the soil, but not the plant, regularly during particularly dry spells but take care not to overwater.
How to Plant
Plant in a warm spot in full sun with well-draining soil, weeding the area and digging in plenty of compost before planting. Onions grow equally well in the ground or in containers, providing the soil drains freely.
