Spring onions do not grow into ordinary onions. They are similar to leek.
The stems of spring onions can be white, red and other colours.

They need a sunny location with good garden soil. The soil should not be too heavily fertilised.

Spring onions are propagated

• Generatively by sowing seeds in spring or autumn
• Vegetatively using the so-called "sets" formed from the cloves which grow in the autumn.
• By dividing the root ball.
  Cut off the root balls from fresh spring onions with about 5 cm long stems and then plant them. After about a week, leaves should already start growing.
