Spring Onion Bunching Ishikura is a type of salad onion that does not bulb but forms long white stalks. Most of the plant can be eaten with very little waste. Quick to mature, they are long-lasting and can be left to make larger stems without losing their flavour. Will do best in well-dug, manured soil in a sunny position.

Sow thinly, 15mm deep in rows 15cm apart. It should not be necessary to thin the seedlings but keep plants well watered, particularly in dry weather. Keep weed free. Repeat sowing every 3 weeks for continuous supply. Sow year round.
