You can sow them direct anytime now, but here's what I do to get them off to a flyer.

Put a pinch of seed into each of 20 modules, germinate them in a cold frame or greenhouse. When about 4" high, harden them off and plant them out as a clump about 9" apart.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Never tried it, but don't see why not.

Spring onions are one of those crops that are a good filler, especially in clumps, if you have an odd space here or there.
