Spring Onion Lilia

Lovely Lilia has rich red stems topped by fresh green leaves: a dramatic and tasty AGM winner With Lillia you can enjoy 2 onions for the price of 1 – chose to grow as a spring onion or leave to bulb up or divide up your seeds and grow some of each. Price for 100 seeds

SOW: thinly at about 1cm deep in rows to minimise thinning (use cloches for early sowings until mid-April).

FOR SPRING ONIONS: you can sow at intervals of about 3 weeks from February to July. This will give you a succession of onions to pull after 10 weeks or so

FOR MAIN CROP BULBING ONIONS: sow from March to May in the open (allows time to bulb). These will be ready from August
