Onion White Lisbon is a standard variety for bulbing salad onions, which bulks up relatively quickly. Medium green foliage. Can be sown in the Spring for Summer harvest and then sown again in early Autumn for Spring harvest.
SOW: weekly from March - September
HARVEST: 6 - 8 weeks later when sown in Spring. Autumn sowings are harvested in February through March.
WHERE TO SOW:
Sow very thinly in 1.5cm deep drills, leaving about 25 cm between rows.
Thin seedlings in stages to about 10cm - thinnings to be removed to avoid Onion Fly attack.
Tips: Closer spacing results in smaller onions than larger spacing. Make sure are well dried before storing. Remove dead leaves before storing.
