One of the earliest varieties on the market in the Spanish type. A not too lush chive and a thin neck are the advantages of growing onions for the bag. Thanks to its earliness, it can be harvested immediately after spring onions, well ahead of other varieties grown for sowing, thus filling the gap in the supply of the commodity at this time. It is characterised by a very rapid growth of bulbs in the final growth phase.
