Spring Onion

Growing from seed

Start Spring Onion indoors about 8 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in cooler soil (around 10–18 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 10 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun, spaced about 5 cm apart. Expect to harvest in roughly 60 days.
