Onion Spring Freddy Seeds

 

Spring Onion Freddy (Allium fistulosum L.) is a versatile and fast growing variety, perfect for gardeners who want a reliable and tasty crop of fresh green onions.

 

This popular strain produces long, slender stems with crisp white bases and vibrant green tops, offering a mild yet flavourful taste.

 

Ideal for salads, stir-fries, soups, and garnishes, Freddy delivers consistent harvests throughout the season. Unlike bulb onions, this variety does not form a bulb, instead providing tender stems that are ready to be pulled young or allowed to mature for stronger flavour.

 

A hardy and low maintenance crop, Freddy thrives in a wide range of soils and conditions, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced growers. With its quick growth and repeat sowing potential, it ensures a steady supply of fresh onions from spring through autumn.
