Description
Onion Bedfordshire Champion Seeds - Irish Plants Direct
Allium cepa is a traditional, heritage variety renowned for its excellent flavour, reliability, and long storage life.
The Latin name Allium cepa translates to "cultivated garlic," reflecting its place in the broader onion family. This hardy, medium-sized bulb produces golden-brown skin with firm, crisp white flesh, making it a favourite for cooking, salads, and pickling.
Thriving in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, Bedfordshire Champion grows to a height of 30-45 cm. Its robust growth habit and disease resistance make it an ideal choice for gardeners of all skill levels.
Harvested in late summer, these onions store exceptionally well, providing fresh, homegrown produce throughout the winter months.
A classic variety that combines heritage quality with ease of cultivation, perfect for any vegetable garden.
