FAQs

What is the difference between White Lisbon and winter-hardy White Lisbon onion seeds?

These seeds are specifically designed to overwinter, meaning you can plant them in the autumn and enjoy fresh, crisp spring onions as soon as the weather warms up. Known for their resilience, winter-hardy White Lisbon spring onion seeds are ideal for areas with harsher winter conditions.

How do you grow White Lisbon spring onion seeds?

White Lisbon winter hardy spring onion seeds can be sown directly outdoors from early spring or started 8-10 weeks indoors before transplanting after the last frost. Sow seeds thinly about 1cm deep in rows spaced 20-30cm apart, keeping soil moist until seedlings appear. Thin seedlings to 5-8cm apart when they reach 8cm tall. This hardy variety thrives in full sun or partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil. Sow successively through the growing season for a continuous supply, with autumn sowings able to overwinter under protection for early spring harvest. Harvest fresh, tender stems in 8-10 weeks or allow to mature longer for fuller bulbs with more flavour.

Are winter-hardy White Lisbon spring onions suitable for overwintering?

Yes, winter-hardy White Lisbon spring onions are specially selected for overwintering success. Sow from late July to October outdoors in well-drained soil, and they stand through cold weather, often under cloches or fleece for protection, to provide fresh harvests in early spring.
