Sowing and Growing Guide

White Lisbon Winter Hardy Spring Onion

Indoor Sowing

  • Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Fill seed trays with seed starting mix and sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, 1 inch apart.
  • Keep the soil moist and at a consistent temperature of 60-70°F.
  • Seedlings should emerge in 7-14 days.
  • Once seedlings have developed their first true leaves, thin them to 2-3 inches apart.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 4-6 inches tall and have a good root system.

Outdoor Sowing

  • Sow seeds directly into the garden 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil that has been amended with compost.
  • Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
  • Keep the soil moist and weed-free.
  • Thin seedlings when they are 2-3 inches tall, leaving 2-3 inches between plants.

Growing

  • White Lisbon Winter Hardy spring onions prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.
  • Water consistently to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
  • Fertilize once a month with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Harvest onions when they are young and slender, about the thickness of a pencil.
  • To store, dry onions for a few days in a well-ventilated area, then store in a cool, dry place.
