Spring Onion 'White White' Lisbon Strip Pack
3 FOR £10
Spring Onion 'White Lisbon' is a popular and reliable variety of spring onion. It is a fast-growing, hardy plant that produces clusters of slender, white stems that are around 25cm in length. The stems are crisp and tender, with a mild, sweet onion flavour that is perfect for adding to salads, stir-fries, and other dishes.
Spring Onion 'White Lisbon' is easy to grow. It prefers a well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny or partially shaded position. The plant can be harvested when the stems are around 15cm in length, or left to mature to a larger size. It is a versatile crop that can be used fresh or stored for later use. Ideal for successional sowing for cropping throughout summer. As they are in the garden for such a short time, they can also be grown in between slower growing vegetables thereby saving space for other crops.
Not only are they a versatile and flavourful addition to many dishes, but they also offer several nutritional benefits. Spring onions contain beneficial sulphur compounds that possess antibacterial and antiseptic properties. They're also high in antioxidants, such as quercetin and anthocyanin, as well as Vitamin C, calcium, and iron.
