WINTER ONION SETS (despatch commences late September)
 
You will receive an approximate 50/50 mix of:
 
Red Baron:
'Red Baron' is a popular variety, which is no surprise considering it produces such superb results. These onions have a deliciously strong flavour, making them a firm favourite for a whole host of kitchen dishes.
 
Senshyu Yellow:
This Senshyu Yellow Onion is a well-known Japanese variety perfect for winter growing. It yields high-quality, plentiful crops of straw-coloured, semi-globe shaped bulbs with a pleasantly mild taste, making it a top choice among growers.
 
 
 
Prepare your soil: Onions prefer an open, sunny site and light, free-draining soil. If you have heavy soil, dig in a generous amount of grit and organic matter into the planting area to aid drainage. Avoid planting them in very heavy or freshly manured soil. We recommend also adding our Slow-Release Onion Feed Granules when planting.
 
Planting: Both Autumn and Spring varieties can be planted straight out into your pre-prepared soil. Loosen soil and dig in some of our Concentrated Slow-Release Feed Granules to add essential nutrients for optimal growth.
 
Onion Sets: Plant Onion sets (pointed end upwards) with the tips of the sets showing at the soil surface. These should be spaced 5-10cm (2-4in) apart with 20-25cm between rows. 
 
Why not add a bag of Onion & Garlic granulated feed to give your onions the best possible start!
