Spring Onions Purplette
£1.95 Average 500 seedsSpring Onions are a great addition to salads, stir fries and are delicious griddled or barbequed with a sprinkle of olive oil. This variety is the best one you can grow, with its rich purple skin.
From sowing, Purplette will be ready to eat as a spring/salad onion in just six weeks, or you can leave them in the ground for an additional month till they've turned into bigger bulbs that can be used for cooking or pickling.
The small size means you can grow a lot in a small area of your plot or in containers.
Growing Equipment: Grow beds or dutch trugs are perfect for patios.
