A very popular organic variety.
Planting and sowing instructions
Sow March to May. Harvest September to December. Sow indoors from February to March. Sow outdoors from late March into a well prepared seedbed ready for transplanting later on. Sow 13mm deep and 23cm between rows. Indoors, sow seeds at a depth of 12mm in trays of free draining compost. Place in a propagator or sealed container inside a plastic bag until germination in about seven days. Then grow on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and plants are big enough to be transplanted. Acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a seven day period before planting cabbages in moist rich soil. Plant 50cm apart. Cover with netting and place a collar around the stem of the plant to prevent cabbage root fly. Water well after planting.

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.
