My AccountThese very hardy Japanese spring onions are dual purpose.
From a late summer sowing they can be pulled young as spring onions (use thinnings in this way) or left in the ground to mature and harvested as large, leek like onions.
A tasty addition to salads, stir-fries and wherever you need a great fresh onion flavour.
