Onion Bunching/Scallion White Lisbon Seed
Allium cepa
White Lisbon is a green bunching onion, also called scallion, green onion or spring onion. A popular variety for decades because it produces dependably in widely varying conditions. It thrives in a wide range of soils, is heat and cold tolerant, and can be planted in spring, late summer or fall. For the finest quality, pencil-thin onions, sow seed densely, and do not thin seedlings.
This packet plants two 8 foot rows.
Days to Emerge: 10 - 15 days
Seed Depth: 1/4"
Seed Spacing: 1/2"
Row Spacing: 8" - 12"
Thinning: Not necessary unless thicker whites are desired
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as soil can be worked. Successive sowings every 2 to 4 weeks recommended for continuous production. In mild climates, can be sown in fall for spring harvest.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Harvesting: Scallions can be harvested anytime during the growing season. Dig up with a hand trowel or garden fork. If left in the ground to mature (about 100 days) white Lisbon forms a small bulb which will have a more pungent flavor than its earlier scallion form.
