Onions – Ramrod

Ramrod is a white-bulbing Lisbon type scallion (or bunching onion) with sturdy, erect leaves. Make successive sowings from spring to Autumn. September-sown seedlings are very cold-hardy and can overwinter well for early spring harvests. A high-performance, boldly flavoured scallion bred for English gardens, but perfect for the coast. To increase the blanched white lower portion, simply sow or transplant into a shallow trench and hill soil up around the stems as they grow.
