Spring Onion Summer Isle

Summer Isle has a lovely sweet and mild flavour (Japanese bunching onion type), with the added benefit of being early maturing and reputed to be less pungent. Fantastic in your salads and also as a stir-fry ingredient. Sow throughout the growing season (March to September) in succession for summer and autumn harvesting. An AGM winner

To be an AGM winner means that this variety has been outstanding in trials: reliable and with great garden performance

SOW & GROW: from March to September in the open. The later sowings may be protected by cloches in the winter weather. Sow sparingly to minimise thinning, make a series of sowings every few weeks for a succession of salad onions through the summer and autumn.

ENJOY: pull as needed. This variety is reputed to be less pungent than other varieties: we find that Summer Isle is fantastic in salads. This variety also makes a great stir-fry ingredient. We often freeze spring onions after we cut them into strips to add to oriental dishes at another time.
