Rather than developing the substantial bulb of a mature Spanish onion, it can be harvested young as a spring onion, with a slender white stem and small bulb at the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crisp stems have a pleasantly sweet, mild onion flavour and can be eaten raw in salads, sandwiches and salsas or finely sliced as a garnish. They are also excellent in stir-fries, noodle and rice dishes, soups and other Asian-style cooking. Both the white stems and green leaves are edible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvesting can begin while plants are young and slender, making this a useful crop for gardeners wanting a relatively quick supply of fresh onions. Plants can also be left longer to develop thicker stems and a more pronounced small bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnions have been cultivated since ancient times, with their origins generally traced to Central and Southwest Asia. Their ability to store, travel and provide flavour made them an important food crop throughout the ancient world and eventually gave rise to an enormous diversity of bulbing and bunching forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Sweet Spanish Bunching performs particularly well from autumn and spring sowings. Plants prefer full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture for rapid, tender growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 240–400 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 100 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn and spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to early autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 5–10 mm deep directly into prepared soil or raise in trays for transplanting.
