This is the established favorite for set based growing. Spring planting. For lifting towards the end of July. This hybrid produces high yields of semi globe dark skinned bulbs. Stuttgarter type. Great for storing. A gardener's favorite for good reason. Height. 45cm Spread 15cm.
Companion planting. Grow alongside mint. It deters onion fly.
Sow and Grow. Plant onion sets in rows in any firm, well-drained soil in full sun. Prepare the planting area several weeks in advance by incorporating some well-rotted garden compost to improve drainage and soil fertility. Avoid planting onions on freshly manured soil. On particularly wet ground, try growing onion sets in raised beds. When growing onions from sets, plant the bulbs so that the tip of bulb is just protruding through the soil surface. Leave a space of 10cm (4") between each bulb, and 30cm (12") between each row.
Delivery. Our bulbs are produced in the UK to ensure that they are ideally suited to UK growing conditions. All bulbs supplied are size 14/21 subject to adequate availability. Most set bulbs are lifted in the early Autumn but need to dry and mature in order to achieve the best results.
We therefore deliver our bulbs from mid-March onwards.
