Enduring in popularity for over three centuries since 1787. The winter-hardy White Lisbon is a reliable source of spring onions throughout the year, specifically bred to withstand cold conditions. Exceptionally robust down to -15°C, it produces striking long white stems crowned with vibrant green leaves, with early emergence as soon as March.
Their compact size makes them ideal for containers or space-limited plots. If you practice companion planting, these onions can be conveniently nestled between other plants.
In terms of flavour, the winter-hardy White Lisbon offers a harmonious blend of mild onion taste and the characteristic ‘bite’ cherished by onion enthusiasts. Perfect for salads, these spring onions excel in any recipe that calls for their addition. For the mildest flavour, harvesting when young is recommended, as they tend to become stronger as they mature.
