They're super-resistant to cold and easy to grow. However, they will take a little longer than most leek varieties - there's a lot of weight to pack on before they reach maturity!

Growing Information

How to Sow

Onions can be sown direct or in trays. Ensure that they will grow in well-drained soil. Seed should not dry out during germination, but avoid over-frequent watering.

How to Harvest

Harvest your onion bulbs during dormancy. When the leaves become yellow, stop watering. You can dig or pull them up once the soil dries.
