Description
Spring onions, also called winter, winter hedge or spring onions, are a simple and undemanding culture. Both the small onions and the green leaves - called "Schlotten" - can be used. They go well with fresh salads and vegetable dishes.
Origin:
Central Asia
Growing tips
The spring onion feels particularly at home in loose, slightly sandy soil. Waterlogging should be avoided at all costs. The location should also be sunny. Spring onions can be sown directly outdoors as early as March or grown in advance and planted out in April.
