Allium fistulosum 'Red Toga'
Spring Onion 'Red Toga'
Spring onions, also known as scallions, green onions, or salad onions are actually very young onions, harvested before the bulb has had a chance to swell. The white bulb and the green leaves are edible. The flavour is similar to onion, but milder. 'Red Toga' is a red spring onion, tender, and mild-flavoured, adding colour to a salad, or mild onion flavour to a stir-fry.

Propagation by seed indoors in Spring
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Sow onion seed thinly in seed-trays or modules or direct in a prepared greenhouse border, in early Spring, ready to transplant to final positions in late spring.
Planting outdoors in Spring
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Plant out to final positions in mid to late spring 6" between plants in rows 12" to 15 " apart, in prepared ground, limed to keep soil neutral to alkaline
Propagation by seed in late Summer
From Late Summer TO Early Autumn
For Japanese onions sow in final positions, in prepared beds, to establish themselves before the first frosts. Do not plant too early, because too much fresh growth will cause bolting (going to seed) next Spring. Aim for not more than three true leaves before frosts.
Planting onion sets outdoors
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Plant out onion sets in early spring in well prepared beds, limed late in the previous year, 6" apart in rows 12" to 15" apart.
