This easy to grow onion has small elongated pinkish red bulbs with a white flesh and deep green foliage.

 

The high sugar content gives this shallot onion a mild sweet flavour. 

 

Seed qty 1.5 grams

 

 

Onions need a well drained sunny site that has been well dug in autumn adding plenty of compost or well rotted manure. Onions do not grow well in acidic soil so adding lime maybe necessary. Apply a general fertiliser a week before planting.

 

Sow March - June sparingly in drills 1.5cm deep and leaving 15cm between rows.

 

Otherwise thin the seedlings in stages to eventually leaving 100cm between plants 

 

Make sure the onions are kept well watered during dry spells.

 

Feed as soon as the bulbs begin to swell.
