There'll be no crying when you see the results of growing organic Ramrod spring onions, as this very popular overwintering variety is much feted by grow-your-owners across the country. A crisp and very tasty addition to salads, Ramrod onions can be cropped in spring (after overwintering), late summer and autumn and have the distinctive, Lisbon-type, long white stems and green tops.
Tender and mild to taste when young, the bulbs can left to swell and develop a much stronger flavour if desired.
