Spring Onion 'North Holland Blood Red'
- Perfect for Pots
- Loved by Pollinators
The best spring onion you can grow, with rich-crimson outer skins and round, generous bulbs
Eat them as spring onions or leave them to bulk up to red onion size. An ideal all rounder. I love them raw or griddled. An excellent companion plant for carrots to avert the carrot root fly.

Care Tips
Be careful not to over-water. It’s also crucial to keep weeds away because like all onions, spring onions hate competition. It’s also advisable to protect the young seedlings from birds, by covering them with horticultural fleece.
