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.
